President Obama Names Federal Coordinating Officer For Flooded Kentucky
The process of flood recovery continues in the four county area of eastern Kentucky struck by flooding that began on May 9th. We talked with the person appointed by President Barack Obama to oversee the federal response to the tragedy. Kim Cadish, Federal Coordinating Officer, gave his impression of what he saw when visiting Pike County last week. Cadish was impressed with the determination and willingness of the people to work cooperatively in getting recovery work done. Even more than the raw numbers generated by the flooding, Cadish was moved by the spirit shown by the people as eastern Kentucky continues to struggle with the process of recovery.
