Tree and debris removal
Tarping damaged roofs
Muck-out services
'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 by the cleanup crews are free of charge, but not guaranteed. Availability depends on volunteer resources and the level of need in the community.
The Crisis Cleanup hotline will remain open through Friday, June 6.
