MONTGOMERY | The state’s six community recovery task forces met Thursday to begin preparing for long-term recovery from the April tornadoes that devastated north Alabama.
Gov. Robert Bentley created the task forces last month to help communities recover from the tornadoes that hit April 15 and April 27, killing nearly 250 people and destroying or damaging more than 20,000 homes statewide.
Each task force will focus on a specific segment of recovery: infrastructure; economic development; health and social services; housing, community planning and capacity building; and natural and cultural resources. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is the coordinating agency for the task forces.
