Gov. Andy Beshear said two people are still missing following catastrophic flooding in eastern Kentucky after state police announced that they had located one of three previously unaccounted for. 

The governor's office said that the number is fluid and reflects only the reports made to the police. The death toll remains at 37, with rescue missions winding down. 

"Let’s continue to pray for our eastern Kentucky families affected by the flooding," Beshear tweeted Thursday. "We will continue to be there for them in the days, weeks, months and years to come."

Owlet County was added to the list of impacted areas approved for individual assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The counties currently approved include Breathitt, Clay, Floyd, Knott, Letcher, Owsley, Perry and Pike.

"Let me address something – there are a lot of rumors out there about who qualifies for FEMA or who can apply," Beshear said in a statement. "Everyone who has been significantly impacted by the flooding in the eight counties approved for Individual Assistance needs to apply for FEMA. It’s a requirement for our travel trailers and it will be a requirement for other programs. Please apply."

Hundreds of residents have been displaced by the flooding, with many now staying in Kentucky state parks, travel trailers and Red Cross and emergency shelters.
