A Community at Work
Neighbors, partners, and city teams are working side by side to restore services, support families, and move recovery forward — rebuilding trust, strengthening connections, and helping every affected resident take the next step toward stability.
A Shared Future To Look Forward To
Our vision for tornado recovery will be realized when residents believe it’s worth it to stay or return and are able to say,
“My home is safe, my neighborhood has a future, and there is a plan for me.”
Strategic Recovery Pillars
Recovered Residents
Keep residents safe and create a clear, trusted path forward for families impacted by the tornado.
Repaired Properties
Repair homes where possible and safely remove structures that cannot be restored.
Rejuvenated Neighborhoods
Reopen neighborhood anchors, revive local businesses, and restore momentum across tornado-impacted neighborhoods.
The Mayor’s Tornado Recovery Office coordinates resources, supports residents, and ensures that every part of the rebuilding effort moves in a unified, accountable way.
