Website: Our tornado recovery site is at
https://www.cavecity.us/tornadorecovery
Media Requests: please submit all requests to City Hall. (870)-283-5455 or cityhall@cavecity.us
Command Center (Volunteers, Relief): Starting today, our volunteer and relief operations command will be housed at City Hall, 201 S Main St. The mobile trailer is no longer located at the Middle School parking lot. We will maintain the phone for this center until further notice at (870)-457-5576.
If you want to lend a helping hand in recovery efforts, we encourage you to check in with our friends at “8 Days of Hope”, stationed at Cave City First Assembly of God (437 N Main St., Cave City):
Command Center (Emergency Operations): Coordination between local, county, and state emergency resources will continue to be managed from Cave City Fire Rescue HQ, 208 North St. Routine law enforcement management should be back to the Cave City Police Dept. HQ, 103 Union St. (870)-283-5011
Relief Supplies Center: We currently do not need any incoming donation items, but we do need to keep distributing items to those affected within our community, and those outside the community who may still be struggling with basic needs. For now, the center remains located at the Cave City Middle School gym, 711 N. Main St. Please check in there to get what you need.
Relief Fund: we need donations made to the official relief fund that will soon help get assistance directly to those most affected. You can do this in-person at the Bank of Cave City (137 S. Main) or online at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=EQ4GD3QB49LX4
Debris Removal: This remains our primary goal at this time. Please continue to pile vegetation debris and construction debris into separate piles as near the roadway as possible.
Water Boil Order: As of this morning, we are now under a precautionary boil order for all Cave City Water customers due to a failed water valve overnight. There is a large supply of bottled water available at the middle school gym, so please take advantage of that as needed. We are sorry for the added inconvenience and will provide separate updates on that.
Let’s stay #cavecitystrong folks. We are making our way through this. It will take time, patience, and wisdom. I expect to be making a number of posts and updates today, so please stay tuned and share them.
Jonas Anderson
