Mailing Address: Dora Centers, Knott CES, 149 Parks Branch Rd, Hindman KY 41822
- Dry Shampoo - there are places in our county that will be without water for 6-8 weeks. Personal hygiene products are great but there is no running water.
- The very thick work gloves - i think of them as fencing gloves-- from tractor supply. When you search through or clean out you are supposed to wear vinyl underneath a thick work glove. Please understand this mud/water destroys whatever you are wearing that day so people rescuing/working need multiple pairs to have one pair while the other is drying out.
- Tall Tube /Boot socks - Much needed..
- Boots - Muck boots/mud boots/tall army boots.. Any boots will be helpful.. Your feet just sink up - tennis shoes will be needed later on.
- Another mentioned is fans for those who have places left and getting electricity back their HVAC are not operable/gone.
