A RESOLUTION encouraging the development and construction of the East Kentucky Disaster Relief Center at Bear Mountain near Pikeville, Kentucky.

This resolution encourages the development and construction of a disaster relief center at Bear Mountain near Pikeville, Kentucky. It directly supports eastern Kentucky communities frequently impacted by floods, storms, and other disasters, which have received numerous federal disaster declarations. The proposed center would include facilities like helicopter landing sites, a communication hub, distribution space, emergency shelter, and a clinic for first aid. The resolution expresses legislative support but does not allocate funds or create new mandates; it directs the House Clerk to share the resolution with the University of Pikeville, which plans to operate the center.
