Helping the community recover

0

BEAVERCREEK — Ten days after the outbreak of 15 tornadoes on Memorial Day, residents of Beavercreek and Beavercreek Township continue the clean up from the damage. While most power has been restored and all boil water advisories have been lifted, residents still face significant challenges.

Damaged homes and businesses continue to be assessed by local authorities and representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are assessing damage for possible federal assistance.

The Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce has set up a central website with helpful information for victims of the tornadoes. Visit www.beavercreekchamber.org.

Building damage assessment

The Greene County Dept of Building Regulation is currently involved in the Building Damage Assessment process in effort to expedite the repair and recovery efforts. A notice will be posted on each building that has been inspected. If a notice has not been posted, you may check with the Greene County Dept of Building Regulation to verify the buildings’ inspection status.
