Kentucky Emergency Management is sending a response team to provide assistance to states impacted by Hurricane Matthew.
South Carolina and Florida are seeking for volunteer coordinators, public information officers and water rescue teams to support existing personnel.
The requests are under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. The EMAC is a state-to-state mutual aid agreement under which the requesting state reimburses all costs incurred by the provider state.
KYEM Director Michael Dossett says the Commonwealth is glad to offer any possible assistance to partner states.
Kentucky Utilities is also sending some 130 electrical workersto Florida to assist with any electrical restoration throughout the hurricane period.
