Gov Fletcher Seeking Federal Financial Assistance for Nine Eastern Counties
Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher has requested federal assistance from President Bush as a result of the severe weather that impacted the Commonwealth in mid April. Fletcher is requesting that assistance be provided for Pike, Floyd, Martin, Lawrence, Johnson, Knott, Leslie, Perry and Carter counties. If granted funding by the federal government, local governments and certain non-profit groups can be reimbursed on money spent for flood cleanup. The proclamation does not include homes and businesses. FEMA estimates that the storm cost the Commonwealth $5,143,114.
