In February 2025, Kentucky experienced severe flooding caused by a major storm system. The North Fork Kentucky River reached record levels, leading to widespread destruction. More than 39,000 families were affected, 1,000 residents were rescued, and 14 lives were lost. Recovery efforts were further complicated by a winter storm, which brought snow and freezing temperatures.
The ERT arrived in East Kentucky and supported four key initiatives, providing aid, supplies, and coordination across Kentucky and Tennessee, including the region’s largest humanitarian hub. We have built solutions to enhance both current and future efforts, ensuring a more resilient response in the future.
By developing solutions for food distribution management, volunteer coordination, inventory tracking, and logistics, we supported the initiatives to efficiently mobilize 386 volunteers, 40 trucks, over 260,000 water bottles, 768 meals, and 150 food boxes—ensuring critical supplies reached those in need.
