Kentucky State Police reported its phone lines were down following severe weather across the state on Sunday and shared a list of back-up phone numbers for the public to use.

Gov. Andy Beshear noted the outages during a press conference Monday on the Kentucky storms, which left at least four people dead and caused widespread damage across the state. A tornado was confirmed in Western Kentucky.

“I do believe in the future, we should want dedicated back-up numbers when the major communication goes down,” Beshear said. “That’s something I think we’re going to take out of this that we can do a little bit better. But we don’t believe there was any lag in law enforcement services or emergency response.”

Around 11 a.m. Monday, Kentucky State Police shared the list of numbers in a post on X, formerly Twitter, stating, “PLEASE SHARE: If you have issues calling a KSP Post, please use these alternate numbers.”
