SUMMARY: Riverside Christian School in Breathitt County, Kentucky, is repurposing its gym to serve as a donation center for flood-impacted residents. The county’s Long-Term Recovery Group is leading the effort to provide tailored assistance, ensuring people receive what they need instead of mass donations that may not be useful. This initiative focuses on collaboration, coordination, and communication to avoid service duplication. Inspired by faith, the group aims to love their neighbors and eventually extend help to neighboring counties.

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.
