FAYETTE COUNTY, W.Va. — The Fayette County Commission is coordinating with the Governor’s Office and multiple local partners to assist residents recovering from last week’s flooding, which caused widespread damage across several communities.
County officials say significant impacts have been reported in Cunard, Armstrong Creek, Robson, Beards Fork, Pax, Mount Hope and Kanawha Falls, where homes, private bridges, vehicles and trailers were damaged or washed away. Flood debris remains scattered throughout affected neighborhoods.
The Division of Highways is working to reopen roads in Kanawha Falls and Mulberry Creek before moving on to additional repair sites. In Mulberry Fork, the Sheriff’s Department is delivering food and water to residents cut off by a collapsed road, while the county organizes volunteers to help until access can be restored.
The Fayette County Office of Emergency Management is providing free hot meals and water daily from 12:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Robson Freewill Baptist Church. Portable showers, internet access, device charging stations and flood cleanup supplies are also available.
Cleanup supplies can additionally be picked up at the Armstrong Creek Volunteer Fire Department, Pax Town Hall, and the Fayette County 911 Center in Fayetteville.
The West Virginia National Guard has been authorized to assess areas where it can support cleanup operations, and the Fayette County Health Department is offering free vaccinations for residents exposed to floodwaters.
Residents seeking information can call 304‑574‑1617. Officials are also asking residents to report damaged homes, lost bridges, road issues and blocked creeks to the Fayette County 911 Center’s non‑emergency line at 304‑574‑3590, which will help the state determine the full extent of the damage and assess eligibility for assistance.
