WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Joe Biden has added two more Eastern Kentucky counties to the list of those eligible for individual federal disaster assistance.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced that news via social media Tuesday morning.

”Very good news this morning — @POTUS has approved Individual Assistance for Floyd and Pike counties,” the governor said in a post. “This support is critical for our Eastern Kentucky families as we work together to recover and rebuild. The devastation is enormous and every level of support will help.”

On Saturday, the president first authorized individual assistance for Breathitt, Clay, Knott, Letcher and Perry counties, one day after declaring historic flash flooding in Eastern Kentucky a major disaster.

The initial disaster declaration allowed for federal help to local governments in dealing with the disaster. Individual assistance allows assistance to individuals and businesses, primarily in the form of low-interest loans.
