YES Communities and Local Organizations Extend Support to Residents Affected by Tornadoes in Portage, Michigan
09 Mayo 2024 - 6:03PM
In the wake of the devastating tornadoes that swept through
Portage, Michigan, YES Communities has launched a comprehensive
support initiative to aid residents in their recovery efforts. YES
Communities is deeply committed to the well-being and resilience of
the communities we serve, and we are dedicated to assisting those
impacted by this tragic event.
The YES Emergency Response Team drove through the night with
their emergency truck and equipment to be onsite and begin
providing residents with essential services immediately following
the storm.
Lori Richards, Community Manager of Pavilion Estates said, “Our
residents are our top priority, and we are working quickly as a
team to make sure they have resources and supplies to start the
recovery process. We have been blessed with generous supply
donations from companies and individuals and have set up a supply
donation center for our resident’s needs, including meals 3 times
per day.”
YES’ priority is to ensure that affected residents have access
to the resources and support they need during this challenging
time. To that end, YES has implemented a range of measures to
assist with immediate needs, including:
Emergency Shelter Assistance - We are working diligently
to provide temporary housing solutions for displaced residents,
ensuring that they have a safe and secure place to stay during this
challenging time.
Support Services Coordination - YES is collaborating
closely with local agencies and organizations to coordinate access
to essential support services, including food, clothing,
counseling, and financial assistance.
Property Recovery Efforts - Our dedicated team is
actively assessing property damage and mobilizing resources to
expedite the restoration process, including debris removal and
repairs.
Sheriff Richard Fuller of Kalamazoo County stated, “In all my
career, I have not seen a community so well-orchestrated by the
staff to help with recovery efforts. The storm came fast and
furious and the ability for our first responders and the community
team to address the safety of the residents was incredible.”
Steven Schaub, CEO of YES Communities said, “We understand that
the road to recovery may be long and challenging, but we are
committed to supporting the recovery and rebuilding efforts of all
our affected residents. We are extremely thankful for the first
responders and local organizations for their dedication to our
residents and team members who have been onsite, working around the
clock.”
