Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The severe damage caused by the July flooding affected many folks in Eastern Kentucky. Devastating waters destroyed homes, schools, business and scattered debris throughout the affected area and beyond. I traveled to Breathitt County, under the direction of AED Ty Back and coordinated by Breathitt Extension staff, to aid in the beginning stages of the recovery effort. My efforts that day consisted of transporting nurses around to the most severely impacted areas to administer tetanus vaccinations to the folks that had been in the flood waters and in the cleaning process. We also delivered water, food, and supplies to each of the households where we stopped. The tasks I accomplished were minuscule that day in the grand scheme of things, but the flood victims we interacted with were very appreciative of our help and we were glad to spend quality time with them.
