Casey County Judge Executive Randy Dial has signed a declaration of a State of Emergency for Casey County, due to flooding from last weekend.

Flooding occurred Sunday, with as much as nine inches of rain over the county. The Green River and multiple creeks & streams overflowed their banks and caused damage to many local businesses, homes, and farmland. County roads have also sustained heavy damage.

The declaration of a State of Emergency allows Casey County to qualify for State & Federal funds to assist with clean-up & repair from damage caused by the flooding.

The State of Emergency will exist for the period until clean-up is complete.
