PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) – Floyd County Judge Executive Robbie Williams wants to urge those affected by February flooding, who have had their request for disaster assistance from FEMA denied, to continue to appeal the decision.
“Appeal, appeal, appeal,” said Williams during an update given on social media Wednesday.
FEMA is still operating the Disaster Recovery Center, located at the Floyd County Board of Education office until May 25th.
Williams also noted that county road damage has been assessed, including damage from the most recent storms that occurred on April 4th. Repairs are being prioritized in terms of which roads pose the most risk to traffic. If you feel your road needs immediate attention, please call the Judge Executive’s office at (606) 886-9193.
The flood debris site located at the intersection of KY Route 80 and KY Route 680 will close April 30th. Any flood debris that residents are still needing to dump can be taken to the Transfer Station at Garth on Mondays and Fridays.
Williams said that his office is aware of debris in creeks and that funding has been requested to assists with clean-up efforts, along with permits to allow the county to clear the debris from waterways.
