Next week [on June 29th], FEMA will host a "sustainable communities workshop" in Greensburg, attended by people from Joplin and two southeast U.S. communities recently damaged by tornadoes. They will learn how to follow Greensburg's example.
... The visit by officials from Joplin and the communities of Smithville, Miss. and Cordova, Ala., comes on the heels of an earlier visit by a delegation from Tuscaloosa, Ala., heavily damaged by a recent tornado.
Greensburg City Councilwoman Erica Goodman said Greensburg is ready with a message of hope for other communities.
"We can't tell you want to do," Goodman said. "We can only tell you what we have done and hopefully you can take that home and start your recovery.
