Kentucky is among the top ten states with the most natural disasters.

That's according to data collected from FEMA between 2011 and 2023 by New York University's Institute for Public Knowledge.

Kentucky made the top ten list with 20 federal disasters in a 13 year period.

Flooding is the most common disaster in the U.S., according to FEMA.

A majority of federal disaster declarations made in Kentucky were the result of flooding.

The report also ranked counties with the highest number of disasters.

Eight eastern Kentucky counties landed among the top ten in the nation with Johnson County at number one.

Data shows those counties had 4 to 5 times more disasters than the national average.

Between 13 to 15 disasters compared to the national average of three.

Many of the counties that made the list were hit by deadly flooding in 2022.

Friday will mark the two year anniversary of that disaster that claimed more than 40 lives and destroyed hundreds of homes.
