Local officials are urging Caldwell County residents who were impacted by the December 10 tornado to complete a relief survey.
The newly-formed Caldwell County Long Term Recovery Group, led by Princeton Mayor Kota Young and Caldwell County Judge-Executive Larry Curling, wants to identify every local resident impacted by the tornado in order to assess each family’s recovery progress, identify unmet needs, and work with partners to prevent residents from falling through the cracks. County leaders are encouraging all households to first register with FEMA.
