Work Continues On Storm Outage Problems
KENTUCKY....
Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford says, although many employees of Pike County’s government worked full days over the weekend to aid in any way possible in regard to the widespread power and water outages, special needs situations continue to remain rampant around the county. . Rutherford says no department has worked as diligently as Pike County Emergency Services. Doug Tackett, Pike County Emergency Management Director said. “We have a lot of roads and a lot of trees and a limited amount of people,” but his department is concentrating on people who are stranded without power and require special needs. Tackett says, “We have four-wheel drives and ATVs and if someone is stranded we are doing everything we can to get to them and get them what they need.”
