Beshear has confirmed 37 people have died as a result of the flooding, which occurred in late last month after storms blew through the region on July 27 and July 28. Two people are still currently missing from Breathitt County, according to Kentucky State Police, and hundreds are still displaced.

Some areas of Eastern Kentucky remain in danger of mudslides due to storms moving into the area later this week.

In his visit to the region Monday, Biden pledged to ensure federal resources are available throughout the recovery process, describing the scene in Eastern Kentucky as "incredibly heartbreaking."
