Rebuild Joplin will host representatives from the New York based disaster response organization Tunnels to Towers (T2T) on Thursday, February 28, 2013. T2T is working on Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
Rebuild Joplin, which has developed a successful model for home construction allowing them to build over 60 homes for tornado victims, will share information regarding their systems to enable T2T to implement a more efficient and effective disaster response plan.
Rebuild Joplin has developed a construction system process, patterned after an effective system utilized by their partner organization St. Bernard Project in New Orleans. St. Bernard Project is an award-winning rebuilding, nonprofit organization whose mission is to ensure that disaster-impacted communities recover in a prompt, efficient, and predictable way.
T2T representatives will tour Rebuild Joplin projects currently under construction and meet with Rebuild Joplin construction, client services and volunteer recruitment departments.
The Tunnels to Towers Foundation was developed to honor the legacy of love left by Stephen Siller, FDNY, who laid down his life on 9/11. To honor his memory they strive to follow Stephen’s footsteps of selflessness and love by “doing good”.
