Influenced by lessons learned from the response to a similar tornado in Joplin, Missouri, the Moore Chamber of Commerce formed a private sector partnership with a local bank to facilitate community town hall meetings, providing vital recovery information to survivors; disseminating important and timely messages regarding aid; and offering tangible assistance to the community alongside other organizations from the whole community. These actions improved Moore’s resilience during recovery activities and hastened efforts to rebuild from the tragedy.

Organizations like FEMA, SBA and NGO’s were able to describe available aid, explain the sequence of delivery, and connect with those in need of aid.
