With the declaration in place, a Disaster Recovery Center/local Multi-Agency Resource Center has been activated and debris removal specialists have been hired to begin citywide removal of debris on Monday. The Disaster Recovery Center is part of a disaster recovery partnership with Network of Community Ministries approved by the City Council in 2017.
