Five additional deaths announced Friday bring Kentucky’s weather-related death toll to 15 people.

How to help and get help in the midst of Kentucky flooding, winter storm

Gov. Andy Beshear said the most recently confirmed dead are in Caldwell County, an adult male; Morgan County, adult female; Ohio County, adult male; Pike County, adult male; Warren County, adult female.

On social media Friday night, Beshear said, “We are still dealing with this difficult flooding, snow storm then bitter cold situation in Kentucky.”

Beshear said “thankfully” the state had quickly received a disaster declaration from the Trump administration. “We’re waiting on a decision on individual assistance, whether the federal government is going to step up and provide direct help to our people.”

Beshear has been in Washington, D.C. for a meeting of the National Governors Association which included a meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.
