KYTC's high water report for April 15, 2025
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) asks for people to be aware that even while water levels are slowly dropping, many roads across the district remain flood.
Officials say they've noticed this morning that not all closed roads are still appearing on several of the 'popular GPS systems.' Please refer to the provided list of flooded roads if anyone is traveling in areas impacted by high water. The KYTC notes this list only includes routes that are maintained by the state, and not city and county roadways.
Officials note this list is created using highway mile marker points, which are the nationwide standard to identify specific locations on state and federal roadways. Those points can be located on the KYTC general highway map, seen here.

They tell FEMA they are displaced, need shelter or have other emergency costs due to the disaster on their application They apply for FEMA assistance while Serious Needs Assistance is available.
