There has been an overwhelming amount of support for those affected by the Jan. 12 tornado in Autauga County.
The Old Kingston Community Center has been transformed into a donation site. There is everything from cleaning supplies to baby items and even food. It is all available at no charge.Hunter said they’ve already been able to help well over 25 families.
“We’ve had some donation centers kind of set up organically, right, just out in the community. And we certainly appreciate that they’re there. They know what the need is. They know the families better than we do, and they can reach out to them,” said EMA Director Ernie Baggett. “We’re trying to make sure that people have their stuff out to the side of the road and making sure their properties are cleaned and starting to process them in with FEMA,” said Baggett.
“If you’re hiring a contractor or insurance is paying for cleanup, they need to take care of their own disposal of their debris,” said Davis.“Timber debris goes in one place, your c&d stuff goes to landfill, electronics need to be separated out, and white goods need to be separated out. We can’t pick up any kind of food or liquids and stuff like that. We can’t pick that stuff up,” said Davis.
