City of Joplin provides update on emergency services after tornado disaster
May 23, 2011
As evening hours approach, police and fire officials are strongly encouraging anyone who does not have a home in the affected area to please stay clear of the damage site. Search and rescue operations will continue` throughout the evening and emergency personnel needs full, unobstructed access to do their job.

We understand there has been significant damage to the area and people are curious and perhaps anxious to help, but please be sympathetic to your neighbors who can’t get into their homes to recover items.

Volunteers who wish to assist with clean-up should register at the student recreation center on the campus of Missouri Southern State University. Red Cross staff is working to set up a phone bank with one or two dedicated phone numbers that volunteers can call. Recovery will take several weeks, and the city will need help through the rebuilding effort. Once those numbers have been established, we will publish them on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CityOfJoplin.
