Many organizations are collecting monetary donations and supplies for victims of the flooding.
Search-and-rescue efforts continued across much of southeastern Kentucky on Friday after what Gov. Andy Beshear said was “one of the worst, most devastating flooding events” ever to hit the state.
Mr. Beshear warned that the death toll would rise and would include children. The flooding caused power outages, made many roads impassible and knocked houses off their foundations.
“The people impacted by this are going to lose just about everything,” Mr. Beshear said at a news conference on Friday, adding that officials believed that thousands of people had been affected by the flooding.
