Beshear provided an update on recent flooding, as well as Eastern Kentucky\u2019s recovery and rebuilding efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last week, many communities across the commonwealth experienced a variety of severe weather events that led several cities to declare a state of emergency due to damages bought by the storm. Kentucky Emergency Management monitored the events and are working with counties impacted across the state to submit damage assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Governor encourages those who need help to call or text the Disaster Distress Helpline at 800-985-5990.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Currently, 208 families are housed in travel trailers.
