NC Search and Rescue Kentucky Flood Deployment Update: NC Search and Rescue Taskforce 8 continues work in Frankfort and Carrolton KY, where yesterday they assisted a Swift Water Rescue Team from the Humane Society in Michigan and rescued a dog from a flooded home. Additionally, crews navigated the flooded Kentucky River to run a temporary fiber optic cable, which allowed government offices to reopen and continue disaster operations more effectively. #ReadyNC #NEMOResideo

NC Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 8 remains active in Franklin County Kentucky, completing multiple missions yesterday. Among the team’s activities was working with the Franklin County Humane Society who provided crates and housing for approximately 40 pets they rescued. They also successfully cleared multiple apartment buildings, including one where 10 Individuals and 2 pets were rescued. They also worked to clear a neighborhood due to immediate threat from flooding and conducted sweeps of homes inundated with flood waters before transitioning to the houses at risk based on expected forecasts. This included a call where there was a trapped resident needing assistance and an extensive search of multiple inundated homes along 3 miles of river, where 2 people and 2 dogs were located and removed to safety.
