  1. Good Question on July 15th, 2016 1:49 pm

    Have any of the funds been made available yet? What are the conditions of the residents of Century directly affected by the tornado? What needs to be done to make this work? It must be yet another complicated process, Has it been explained thoroughly?
    Can we hear from the long term tornado recovery committee?
    Has anyone researched how this works and perhaps at what level of government it is stuck, if that is the case?
    I am no expert but there are certain qualifications the applicants must meet such as clear title. If the title is not clear and you applied to the legal aid I know that can take a long time.to go through probate and such, then if there are multiple heirs a mess that is almost impossible to unwind.
    Is there a contact these people can directly talk to to get real answers to their valid questions.?
    I keep seeing these posts for taking applications and feel a real concern but I don’t know the answers either.

  2. when? on July 15th, 2016 7:29 am
