From YouTube: North Side Tornado Recovery Update
Description
August 4, 2011
A
Hello,
this
is
an
update
on
the
north
side,
tomato
recovery
efforts
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis
today
and
Thursday
August.
Fourth
I'm
galve,
the
Quick
Start
disaster
recovery
program
is
getting
extra
funding
to
help
people
with
Camino
damaged
homes.
On
the
north
side,
the
Minnesota
Housing
Board
has
approved,
giving
quick
start
a
million
dollars,
so
the
program
can
provide
special
loans
to
these
homeowners.
Quick
start
loans
are
given
as
a
last
resort
when
help
from
insurance
companies
and
the
US
Small
Business
Administration
are
not
enough
to
cover
repairs.
Quick
Start
provides
no
interest.
A
Loans
of
up
to
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
home
repair
and
loans
are
forgiven
if
owners
stay
in
their
homes
for
ten
years.
But
again,
if
you
have
tornado
damage,
you
must
first
work
with
your
insurance
company
and
also
apply
for
an
SBA
loan.
Before
you
can
get
a
quick
start.
Loan
get
a
step-by-step
walkthrough
of
the
process.
You
need
to
follow.
It's
all
on
the
city's
tornado
recovery
webpage,
which
now
has
a
new
address,
go
to
WWE,
Neapolis,
MN,
govt,
/,
tornado
and
a
quick
reminder
you
have
in
Tulsa.
A
A
Information
on
that
is
also
on
the
tornado.
Recovery
page
trees
that
fell
and
block
streets
have
been
removed,
but
the
tree
stumps
have
stayed
behind
now.
The
park
board
is
going
through
tornado
damaged,
neighborhoods,
removing
stumps
and
boulevards.
That
work
can
be
tricky
since
the
roots
of
older
trees
can
stretch
under
sidewalks
and
around
buried
gas
lines.
The
stump
removal
will
take
months
because
crews
don't
want
to
do
more
damage
to
sidewalks
or
trigger
gas
leaks.
Once
stumps
are
removed,
city
crews
can
come
and
repair
any
sidewalks
that
were
damaged
when
the
tornado
struck.
A
A
The
hotline
is
run
by
the
north
side,
community
response
team.
It
will
be
available
from
9am
to
6
p.m.
monday
through
friday
and
to
stay
on
top
of
all
the
latest
information
of
a
Northside

the
city's
