As water continues to recede in Hopkinsville and Christian County, officials have shifted from emergency response into full recovery mode.
The City of Hopkinsville and Christian County leadership believe it is critical that all residents know:
• Where to find help
• How to give support
• And who to contact
First and foremost, Christian County Emergency Management is the central hub for coordinating all recovery efforts. They are actively managing available resources and connecting citizens in need.
For those offering help:
If your organization is donating supplies, volunteering, or providing any type of recovery assistance aside from monetary donations, please notify Christian County Emergency Management at 270-887-6253 so they can add your information to the county’s comprehensive resource list.
