Message from the Mayor
This special edition of the Garland City Press is dedicated to the spirit of Garland – a spirit that is selfless and indomitable, facing the destruction left in the wake of the Dec. 26 tornados with strength, grace and even humor.
Firefighters and police officers who were off the clock responded immediately along with those who were on duty. Crews from Garland Power & Light, the Streets Department, the Fleet Department and the Parks and Recreation Department cleared roadways, restored power, set up shelters for those left homeless, and made sure City response vehicles were ready for the task. The Office of Emergency Management I have heard countless stories of courage from the night quickly called in the logistics, operations and planning teams needed to support and of the storm itself – our own emergency response teams maintain response and recovery operations. Building Inspection was on the scene and the neighboring responders who answered the call, quickly to begin assessing the level of damage and habitability of the structures. along with storm survivors themselves who looked after the needs of their neighbors before their own. Our During the initial response and throughout the recovery process, every department community has been blessed to witness the caring and has offered up expertise and resources while maintaining the day-to-day operations generosity of neighbors, family, small organizations, large of City government. corporations, other government entities, and so many more in the days and weeks that have followed. I am proud to serve as Mayor of this incredible community, from those impacted by this devastating storm to those who have responded. And to those from other There are more stories than we could begin to tell in government entities and other communities who came to our aid, I am proud to call these pages. Some are uplifting and hopeful, others you a friend to our community. are heart wrenching and painful. But all are part of the fabric of Garland, a city known for overcoming adversity, Remember: rebuilding from disaster and working together toward Grow Community. Grow Opportunity. Grow Garland. the future.
Mayor Douglas Athas 972-205-2400 Mayor@GarlandTx.gov Mayor’s Evening Out 5 to 7 p.m. Feb. 25 Location to be determined
We offer humble gratitude to all who have rallied around our community in our time of need. The words “thank you” cannot fully express our deep appreciation for the volunteers and donations that continue to go toward meeting the needs of those facing the long road to recovery. A strong community response comes from having already been a strong community.
How to Receive Assistance
I also want to publicly thank our own City staff for their sacrifice and response. I know it’s the job of public safety departments to jump into action when disaster strikes, "Our residents are resilient...and humorous.This couples' RV was but they demonstrated an amazing level of professionalism damaged as badly as their house. In Texas-style understatement: Some Repair Needed." and compassion above and beyond the call of duty.
Survivors are being referred to resources with case management assistance through St. Vince De Paul and Catholic Charities by calling 2-1-1 or 469-607-0909. Survivors will be referred to individual organizations to assist with ongoing needs.

When the Storm Hits Home Saturday, Dec. 26
The day after Christmas was filled with family time and post-holiday errands for most north Texans, until an EF4 tornado ripped through the region, including parts of Garland. The tornado struck at 6:45 p.m. near Interstate 30 and the President George Bush Turnpike. Homes, apartments and business were damaged or destroyed. Vehicles were swept off a highway overpass. Eight people lost their lives in those vehicles that night. A ninth passed away on Jan. 9. More than 1,100 structures were impacted in south Garland. Building Inspection Department assessors declared 219 as unsafe and restricted access to 132 more. The Garland Fire Department’s first 911 call was for a collapsed building in the strike zone. Battalion 2 Chief Scott Roseberry said the calls began pouring in, threatening to overwhelm crews on duty. Chief Roseberry called in Battalion 1 to coordinate incoming calls and activated the City’s Emergency Operations Center to support the response. Five operational commands were set up in the area: the accident scene on Interstate 30, the Landmark Village apartments and three in residential neighborhoods that suffered the most damage. Garland police on the scene aided in the search and rescue efforts and provided security for the survivors. First responders from 25 entities beyond Garland responded to help. Garland responders were assigned to teams from outside the City to help with navigation and communication. The primary command post was set up at a nearby WalMart, whose employees provided food and drink to the responders and even spray paint to help mark the buildings that had been searched.
GP&L Power Restoration After the storm, GP&L worked overnight to stage poles and other equipment (below), ensuring crews were ready to begin power restoration the morning of Sunday, Dec. 27. The tornado caused extensive damage to electric facilities in its path, taking 4,200 customers offline. Over four days, GP&L replaced 40 poles and nearly nine miles of wire. By Dec. 30, all homes that could safely accept electric service were back online. North of Garland, GP&L’s transmission crew restored power to TMPA’s Olinger–Pruitt transmission line by removing debris left on the phases by the tornado that passed through Copeville.
“I was amazed at those who were off-duty and dropped everything in the middle of the storm and who wanted to come help the residents of Garland. And the on-duty crews who kept going on despite the conditions,” said Chief Roseberry. "It wasn't just firefighters helping out; it was neighbors rescuing neighbors." 2015 Tornando Impact Area

This portion of the center ceased operations on Jan. 23.
The Cities of Garland and Rowlett partnered with Dallas County to open a Joint Disaster Management Resource Center (JDMRC) on Dec. 29, at Granger Recreation Center in Garland.

Friendship House was one of several local organizations represented at the JDMRC, offering support to survivors.
To meet the immediate need of shelter, Garland hosted more than 50 guests at Gale Fields Recreation Center the first night of the tornado. As individuals were able to find housing and other assistance, the numbers began to decrease and the shelter closed its operation on Jan. 8. "Thank you" does not adequately describe what it means to have everyone in the community pull together in this time of need, but we are all eternally grateful for everyone’s efforts, thoughts and willingness to keep #garlandstrong.
Volunteers with San Antonio Shoemakers warehouse team packed their trailer and drove to Garland. Over a two-day period, they donated over 2,000 pairs of shoes to survivors. Each person was sized and fitted for two pairs of shoes and a pair of socks.

Members of Salvation Army and Reach Out America served meals to residents visiting the JDMRC.
Operation Blessing held two daily orientations for volunteers who went out to the afftected area to help.
Days after the storm, Code Compliance distributed a semi load of water to the affected neighborhoods. As Adam Canales was delivering water, two strangers asked how they could help. Soon, Maxwell Schanbaum and Claudia Berube, from Dallas and Plano, were walking along side of the truck distributing water to storm survivors.

Council Member Stephen Stanley
When the City of Garland in conjunction with the City of Rowlett and Dallas County opened the JDMRC on Wednesday after the storm donations immediately started pouring in and now over a month later they are still coming in. The previous coordinated efforts have now ceased but the City of Garland stands committed to work with the affected area residents and businesses for the months to come. This has and remains the biggest hurdle in making sure that all the needs get met and this will be ongoing long after the bright lights of the cameras have been turned off. The one request I have is that for the next year to two we all keep the survivors in our hearts and minds and to help where you can; as it is this that has been Garland's greatest outcome in this disaster and that has been the outpouring of love and support for our neighbors in there greatest time of need.
District 3
Town Hall Meeting Tornado Relief Update
Alley Right-Of-Way
-Bagged trash -Discarded food -Recyclable materials -All trash should be placed on alley right-of-way the night before the scheduled weekly pickup.
I know of no better way to begin this note but to say thanks to all. While there was approximately two square miles that was directly impacted by the EF-4 tornado on December 26 thousands of volunteers stepped up and came out to help a stranger and became friends during the process.
Respectfully, Stephen W. Stanley, District 3 Councilman
Following these specific guidelines when hauling tornado-related debris & household garbage to the curb will make for a speedier removal process.

Guide to Selecting a Roofer/Contractor With the recent disaster, an influx of “storm chasers” and “fly-by-night” contractors will make their way to our community. The more information you have, the better decisions you can make regarding your home.
Here are few tips to help you:
• Be wary of a contractor who tells you that you don’t need a contract. Always get a contract that describes the work to be done, a time frame to complete the work, the cost of the work and payment expectations. Make sure both parties sign the contract. • A deposit or down payment may not be necessary. State laws protect consumers from making down-payments to out-of-town contractors in cases of disaster remediation. Consult with Garland Building Inspection for details. • Check with the Garland Building Inspection Department to be sure that the contract will require that all work will meet the minimum standards of the Building Code, that a permit will be obtained and that the final inspection is approved by a City inspector. • Check the Better Business Bureau and make sure the company is in good standing. • Ask for and check references. Ask family and neighbors to recommend good contractors they have used. • Ask if the contractor is a member of a professional organization such as the Dallas Builders Association, North Texas Roofing Contractors Association, Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Texas Association of Builders, etc. • Verify the business address of the contractor and determine the length of time at that location. • Consider requesting a lien waiver from the contractor, subcontractors and suppliers to protect your property from unpaid subcontractors or suppliers. • Obtain multiple bids for the work and be wary of low bids.You may not get the quality that you desire. • Don’t succumb to intimidation or threats. The Building Inspection Department is located at 800 Main Street, Garland, TX 75040. Call 972-205-2300 with any questions or visit GarlandTx.gov.
