On Tuesday, August 2nd, Governor Beshear made an appearance at the Floyd County Community Center to commend those who were volunteering with American Red Cross and FEMA. Some were even volunteering while being washed out of their own homes. Despite this, relief efforts remain strong here in Floyd County. We're here in a center that is serving both as a shelter. I've gotten to talk to some amazing families that are here, having lost everything, but really glad that they're still on planet Earth with us, able to meet and see their relatives and maybe even have a low-fund plan basketball with a couple other kids. And we've got volunteers of all types making sure that if they can get here they are helping their fellow human being. What you're seeing behind us is a little bit of who we are as Kentuckians. I want to thank the leadership of Floyd County. They have virtually everybody back up with power. They have virtually everybody back up with water in this county. We've got a state park not far from here, but that's about 140 people in it. We've filled every room, every cottage, and now we're putting up travel trailers to make sure that we can house as many people as possible working as fast as we can. Governor Beshear also mentioned the arrival of individual aid applications for FEMA and assures those who apply will receive assistance. Anyone who has been affected by flood damages, even businesses, can apply for aid by either going to disasterassistance.org or calling the FEMA hotline at 1-800-745-0243. Individual assistance is a big deal. Six days in. Since we took off this morning to be here in Floyd County, it has received the signature by the president for its people to receive individual assistance through FEMA. What that means is people who go through the process and qualify can get dollars directly to them to help them rebuild. The program is not enough, but it's a whole lot more than otherwise to be available. It is a difficult system. That's why we're going to have a lot of different ways for people to navigate it. People of this county can go online right now, disasterassistance.gov.org. They can call the FEMA hotline, but in all the counties that were the first five that we got set up, we already have a center where FEMA is set up. We're hoping by tomorrow afternoon we'll have that in Floyd County too. If you are initially denied, do not give up. We want to help you. I've specifically asked the administrator for FEMA, our regional director, and the president to assure we have a better success rate this time around than we've seen in the past.
