Kentucky Flooding

All Hands and Hearts has established a base of operations in Perry County, Kentucky, and has committed to a six-week flood relief program. The team has already prepared over 200 meals for affected community members and continues to identify critical needs in the area such as clean water and essential hygiene kits.

All rivers are below the minor flood stage and are expected to remain that way. With 39 confirmed fatalities and a growing number of people unaccounted for, the Kentucky National Guard has been activated with high-water vehicles and aircraft to continue the search and rescue operations. DART has started connecting local organizations to understand the needs of the community.

Eastern Kentucky saw more than two inches of rain overnight and the additional rain has slowed some utility and infrastructure restoration. However, all rivers are below the minor flood stage and are expected to remain that way. Bringing tools and supplies from Louisiana, the DART is prepared to provide immediate assistance to the affected communities.

According to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC), heavy rainfall is expected to pass over Kentucky Monday night as a cold front passes through the Ohio Valley toward the Central Appalachians. Additional rainfall brings with it the potential of life-threatening flash flooding to an area that has already seen heavy amounts of rainfall. Members of DART are now stationed at our Hurricane Ida Relief base in Louisiana and are preparing to continue assessments in Kentucky in the morning.

In response to the ongoing flooding, All Hands and Hearts has deployed a Disaster Assessment Response Team (DART) and has boots on the ground in Wayland, Kentucky. Over the next few days, they will work with local authorities and organizations in the area to identify the areas of greatest need.

All Hands and Hearts will be responding to the devastating flooding taking place in southeast Kentucky. We are mobilizing our DART team and with the continued flash flood warnings, we expect to be on the ground early next week. From there we will assess immediate needs and plan to launch a short-term rapid response program to support the community.

Historic rainfall has caused catastrophic flash flooding across southeast Kentucky and continues to cause devastation in the area. As flooding continues, creeks, rivers, and streams will overflow causing road closures, power outages, destruction of infrastructure and loss of life. Three casualties are confirmed and many more people are missing.

All Hands and Hearts is closely monitoring the situation and is working on a plan to meet potential needs of the areas.
