If you do, check into displaced worker training. There are a lot of resources in Kentucky. Its one of the few things the state does really well. If there's more than a certain number, the company will have to provide training to those effected, otherwise the state has resources available.
I know a guy who worked in the lime mines here in Jefferson County. When they shut down he had access to funds for re-training. I don't know if it was from the union or the government, but he got certified in heavy machinery maintenance and ended up with a better job. And it was just a technical program that didn't take him that long to complete. It wasn't like going to school for years.
If I were you I would not panic, but I would also check into this stuff now so that you will be prepared to act immediately if the worst does happen.
