A Disaster Recovery Center has opened in Christian County to help Kentuckians affected by the April storms, which brought straight-line winds, flooding, landslides and mudslides.
The center is located at Murray State University’s Hopkinsville campus, 5305 Ft. Campbell Blvd., in classrooms 207, 209 and 213. It will be open 1 to 7 p.m. CT on April 30, then 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 7 p.m. on Sundays.
