Lessons Learned from the Joplin, Missouri
MONTH’S WEB POLL
Tornado Five years ago, an EF5 tornado struck Joplin, Missouri, and became one of the deadliest and single-torna- do events in U.S. history. In the wake of the storm’s destruction, the city had many challenges to overcome, and Joplin Public Schools buses and drivers played a heroic role. The district chronicled the evacuation, relief and recovery efforts with a short documentary. Read and watch the story at
www.stnonline.com/go/8m.
