SMITHVILLE, Miss. (WTVA) — The mayors of three communities reeling from powerful tornadoes have received an invitation to tour a town in Kansas.
FEMA extended an offer to them so they can explore and learn how a town in the Midwest made its way back to a more prosperous lifestyle.
Smithville Mayor Gregg Kennedy is one of three mayors invited by FEMA to take a trip to Greensburg, Kan., on June 28 to see how that town has made a successful recovery from an EF-5 tornado.
"We're travelling up there with a FEMA crew just to look and see how they rebuilt," Kennedy said. "(We can see) how they do it and get some ideas, a blueprint, of how they went about rebuilding and restructuring their town."
