FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky National Guard leaders met at the state Emergency Operations Center at noon today to assess current operations in response to the H5N1 pandemic.
More 1,300 Kentucky Army and Air National Guardsmen currently are deployed across the Commonwealth. The troops are distributing medical supplies and vaccine to local health departments and assisting civil authorities as requested.
Gov. Steve Beshear called up the Guard forces earlier this week as the pandemic began to spread across the state.
