Century Council To Discuss Tornado Recovery Efforts
March 21, 2016
The Town of Century will discuss tornado recovery during their regular count meeting tonight.
Greg Strader, director of BRACE (Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies), is scheduled to address the town council and provide a recovery update. BRACE continues to coordinate with volunteer organizations that have been active in the disaster to being plans for long-term recovery.
There were 160 homes damaged or destroyed by the February 15 President’s Day EF-3 tornado that tore a 16-mile long path through North Escambia with winds up to 152 mph. The total estimated dollar amount of the damage was $3.9 million.
Federal aid following the disaster has, to date, been denied. Florida has made $2.1 million in housing funds available following the Century tornado on February 15 and an EF-3 tornado in the Ferry Pass area of Pensacola on February 28. Century has not yet learned what their share of the funds will be or determined how applications will be accepted.
The Century Town Council will meet at 7 p.m. at the Century Town Hall on North Century Boulevard. The meeting is open to the public.
