Helping Cities Impacted by Severe Weather

KLC is Here to Help During Severe Weather

Severe weather has hit Kentucky yet again, leaving many cities across the commonwealth dealing with flooding. The Kentucky League of Cities' "Cities Helping Cities" program can help mayors in affected areas with current or future needs. City officials in impacted areas and those able to offer assistance should contact KLC Member Relations and Special Initiatives Manager Terri Johnson. As we are made aware, KLC will post needs on this page.

​KLC Director of Municipal Law Morgain Patterson recommends citing KRS 39B.070 when a city declares a state of emergency. KRS 39A.100 is also referenced as authority for state of emergency declarations, but that statute is linked to the governor's authority and expires 30 days after the declaration is signed.

Reporting Claims and Damages

KLC Insurance members should report any claims or damage to Collins and Company as soon as possible via the KLC portal. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact your KLC marketing agent.
