Louisiana Donating 300 RVS to Kentucky Flood Victims

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Wednesday (Aug. 31) announced that Louisiana was donating up to 300 travel trailers the state originally acquired for survivors of Hurricane Ida last year to help people of eastern Kentucky who lost their homes in the recent flooding, according to a report by Fox News.

Beshear said during a briefing that Kentucky has already sheltered 289 people displaced by the historic flooding in July into 219 travel trailers, but that 349 Kentuckians were still sheltering in lodges.

He said that Kentucky was working to acquire more travel trailers, announcing that Louisiana was donating up to 300 trailers to help victims of the flooding, which killed at least 39 people, including four children.

“Unfortunately, folks in Louisiana know a lot about what we’re going through,” Beshear said. “They’ve seen the pain and the devastation that water pushed by hurricanes can cause. But despite all that they’ve been through themselves, they’re helping us now.”
