* The White House is ordering federal assistance for Kentucky following historic flooding. President Biden approved Kentucky’s disaster declaration over the weekend, two weeks after aid was requested by Governor Andy Beshear. Heavy rains over a three-day period at the end of February and beginning of March led to significant flooding along the Green, Kentucky, Licking, Ohio, Rolling Fork, and Mississippi rivers. Federal approval will move individual and household assistance requests forward for more than 23-hundred impacted homes in Breathitt, Clay, Estill, Floyd, Johnson, Lee, Magoffin, Martin, and Powell counties. To apply for FEMA Individual Assistance, if you were impacted by the March 1, 2021 flood event, please visit www.disasterassistance.gov/
