Eastern Kentucky communities have learned firsthand about the intricacies of flood insurance and government relief after last year’s historic flooding.

Some families are navigating an even trickier process trying to get reimbursement for the landslides that damaged their homes during the floods.

Kentucky reporter Austyn Gaffney recently covered the topic for a comics journalism piece that was illustrated by Tennessee artist Martha Park. It was co-published by Grist, Bitter Southerner and the Economic Hardship Reporting project, and is titled, “Washed Away.”

Gaffney recently spoke to Inside Appalachia host Mason Adams.
