Madison County volunteer agencies launch relief efforts following storms

HUNTSVILLE – In response to Tuesday’s storms, the Madison County Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster has mobilized to support recovery efforts.

County residents who need help cleaning up storm damage caused by the recent storms are encouraged to call the Crisis Cleanup hotline at 256-207-5832.

By calling the hotline, residents will be connected with local volunteers from relief organizations, community groups and faith-based organizations who may be able to assist with:

  • Tree and debris removal
  • Tarping damaged roofs
  • Muck-out services
  • Other cleanup efforts

“All across Madison County, people are facing the aftermath of this severe weather,” Huntsville-Madison County Emergency Management Agency Director Jeff Birdwell said. “Our VOAD partners are stepping up, as they always do, to provide support. If you need help, call the hotline.

“And if you’re able to help, now is the time to volunteer.”

All services provided through Crisis Cleanup are free of charge, but not guaranteed, as availability depends on volunteer resources and the level of need in the community.

The Crisis Cleanup hotline will remain open through  June 6.
