Recent severe flooding in Kentucky has caused over 1,000 emergency rescues in just 24 hours, reviving memories of the disastrous floods of 2022. Real estate agent Whitney Hahn highlighted the ongoing struggles of affected communities, many of which are still dealing with the aftermath from past flooding. Despite local efforts, including donation sites and community support, many residents face a bleak outlook. The state government is seeking federal disaster assistance while concerns grow over potential cuts to disaster relief programs under the Trump administration, posing additional challenges for recovery efforts.
We've seen a lot of people come together. Our community is so strong. Everybody just sticks together.
These are our poorest communities, our oldest communities that are getting hit. There's just really low hope right now, I guess.
It comes as rumors swirl that the Trump administration will cut disaster relief programs from HUD and FEMA.
It wasn't cold weather (during 2022 flooding) and the weather is just much worse now.
