U.S. congressmen Hal Rogers (KY-05), Andy Barr (KY-06) and Brett Guthrie (KY-02) sent a joint letter to Deanne Criswell, Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in support of Gov. Andy Beshear s request for damage assessments to be conducted in 26 additional counties that suffered damage during historic flooding across Kentucky from Feb. 27 to March 14, 2021, according to a statement issued April 30.
Last Friday, President Joe Biden issued a Major Disaster Declaration, the largest in Kentucky history, activating federal funding assistance for more than two dozen counties.
With the vast majority of damage in Congressman Rogers, Barr and Guthrie s districts, they immediately began advocating for an expanded declaration, working with Gov Beshear s team to ensure every need is assessed, the statement said, adding the congressmen jointly supported Beshear s request for expanded FEMA assessments and offered their support in a letter to the FEMA Administrator.
