What we have seen is some of the worst rain in the West in Calloway County, too. Turkey are people who have struggled these last 11 months are struggling right now. Guards, men and women, multiple helicopters that are out there working with numerous local officials who are This morning I joined Calloway County Judge Executive Kenny IMEs Murray Mayor Bob Rogers, the National Guard in Calloway County, to see firsthand some of the damage that recent floods have had on their part of the state. We flew over several areas where infrastructure was severely impacted, where bridges and or roads were out while the water had left in their way. Also got to talk to Cruz, working really hard damage. And let me say from the county judge there and all across the country, well, from the mayor there to our road and highway crews, they are out there along with K, S, P and the National to help us dig out. And one challenge that we have seen in, uh, this set of flash flooding is more to individual homes and businesses. And so our commitment is to not only pursue image is sufficient in these instances to get, but also to do everything we can to get the federal government to push as hard as we can. I want to thank affect their fellow Kentucky INS. When I was in Murray, you could see the amount something special about us and our people. We understand what is repairable, and we understand a further update on what we have and what we are facing from emergency management. We have. Thank you, Governor. And good afternoon. As the governor indicated, this event is still ongoing. We've received a few more declarations. We have 49 decorations from cities and counties. To date. We have a national guard again on duty. Uh, some of the county's Calloway, Laurel Johnson, Breath, Lee. Um, and their efforts are ongoing based on the events of the past several days. This is going to be one that will go into the record books. Um, on our part, we have reached out to FEMA, and we have asked FEMA Region four during the assessment period if they will send their lead their lead investigator, uh, to the state of Kentucky to look at the the homes that were damaged and those that have been inundated uh, this goes to individual assistance, and we certainly hope they will be here with us. We'll be conducting two types of assessments next week. We had to postpone the ice storm assessments due to the flooding. So we'll we'll finish a lot of those assessments in the R, E, C, C and the power utility companies. But we will also begin looking at the homes that are impacted in both the West and the East through this flooding event. This is truly a record breaking event. The water is still high. This one is not over. At this point, some of the river areas will be cresting on Saturday and Sunday. We also have a, um a, uh an issue on the Kentucky River. Uh, with that will turn to, uh, Secretary Jim Gray, I believe. Alright. Before we we lead into Secretary Great, he's going to talk about a specific area of our state that is suffering, which is the city and the surrounding breath. At county, The heavy rains have elevated the North Fork of the Kentucky River, creating pressure that's pushing water through a dam that sits under Highway 15 and Jackson and connects to Pam Bow Lake this afternoon after learning about the breach. Um, I had a chance to talk to both the the county judge and the mayor. At first, I could just hear in their voices how much they are hurting for their people that have suffered that have had their their homes destroyed. But I could also hear the resolute leadership that they are using to help get their folks through this. Kentucky emergency management is there helping to evacuate about 1000 people from Jackson as a precaution. Kentucky National Guard is responding, uh there in Jackson with the emergency transport of civilians to higher ground using high axle vehicles, they're launching four helicopters, three Blackhawks and one Lakota to aid and transporting stranded personnel. The Guard has approximately 100 personnel providing flooding response across eight counties. Calloway, Baron, Laurel Johnson, Breath it, Li, Estelle and Pike And previous to the breath of county aviation Response. Kentucky National Guard completed three aviation rescues in Rock Castle Lee and Owsley County, currently Kentucky State Police. Also at the scene, stopping vehicular traffic from entering Highway 15. Uh, and KSB can confirm that the Kentucky River Medical Center is, uh, nearly evacuated again. Those were our local officials stepping up and protecting those individuals. We have two inspectors from the Kentucky energy and environmental Cabinet on the way are already there. Um, and and Kentucky Transportation with numerous people already on the scene. So with that, let's go over to transportation. Cabinet Secretary, Jim Gray, governor, and thanks, Governor. And you got it. You got it right. The energy environment cabinet has dispatched staff. And actually, the dam safety inspectors are on site as we speak engineers, and they are working with the transportation cabinet staff. Our chief district engineer, Corbett Coddle, is on site and has been since earlier in the day, just before noon, when the condition was actually, uh, when the conditions were actually exposed. Now, what we're doing is we're also sending, uh we're also sending geotechnical engineers and geologists there on the way they are in route as well. And the corrective or the remedial action that is being taken again, as we speak is to place, uh, sandbags in the area which has been eroded, which is which is shown in this image right here. So that work governor is underway. As we as we speak, so I'll go back to you now, sir. So that is update based on information we've we have received on on Boots on on the Ground. But again, this is just another example of some of our incredible local leaders stepping up to help protect their their people. Um, got to hear about the fire chief as well in the area and the number of rescues that they have made. So to everybody out there being there, brother and sister's keeper.
