Comments on: Lawmakers Tour Tornado Damage; Offer Hope For State Aid, FEMA http://www.northescambia.com/2016/02/lawmakers-tour-tornado-damage-offer-hope-for-state-aid-fema Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:01:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Joseph Boutwell http://www.northescambia.com/2016/02/lawmakers-tour-tornado-damage-offer-hope-for-state-aid-fema/comment-page-1#comment-317227 Joseph Boutwell Mon, 22 Feb 2016 03:42:49 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=243972#comment-317227 Its seems like an immediate solution is possible but this a long term fix. Takes a big commitment from all sources of aid. We have property in Pensacola still unusable from hurricanes. Make sure specific needs are publicized so people are aware and can respond.

Can HUD counselor be made available for options, even if some can go to Pensacola while they regroup. The people are hurting and in shock and rebuilding will take time. If the historic district is to be saved careful planning and codes and such will have to be implemented. Rebuilding will be a marathon not a sprint. We can learn from other places who are rebuilding. It is a chance to make Century better and maybe for some people to relocate if they want to. Uttimately decisions will be made by each individual as to what they do and how they handle this. I hope you don't feel alone but false hope is not helpful either Even if more funds are available I don’t the government actually comes in and takes over and makes the decisions or repairs themselves do they?

Thank you for showing you care by coming to see us first hand instead of getting a view of our disaster from a third party's mouth. Mr. Scott you need to take a few lessons on the responsiblities of an elected official from Mr. Evers! All lives in the State of Florida matter!
