Game wardens helping flood victims

Crittenden County Emergency Management Director Greg Rushing said rescue efforts continue today in areas affected by flooding. Anyone caught behind flood waters or facing other flood-related issues can call 965-3500 for assistance.

Local game warden Randy Conway and other Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources agents were in Crittenden County (pictured) today using boats to reach people stranded behind flood waters.

Rescue efforts are being mounted to remove people stranded, but food and other supplies will not be taken to flood victims, Rushing said.

A regional Red Cross Shelter has been established in Salem for anyone who needs a place to go.
