Kentucky Governor Advocates for State-Run Disaster Relief Model
Recent audit reveals efficient management of funds with a 0.57% error rate.
- Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has advocated for the adoption of state-run disaster relief funds as a model for future disaster relief efforts.
- A recent audit of the funds revealed a 0.57% error rate, which Beshear highlighted as evidence of the funds' efficiency.
- The funds, which were set up following devastating tornadoes and floods in Kentucky, have raised tens of millions of dollars through charitable donations.
- The funds have been used to cover funeral expenses, provide direct payments to survivors, and support long-term recovery efforts.
- Beshear plans to visit tornado-stricken towns in Kentucky to mark the second anniversary of the deadly tornadoes and to hand over keys to new homes for survivors.
