RebuildJoplin.org, a Bright Futures initiative, is a comprehensive resource for people affected by the storm AND for those who wish to help. The idea came about when the team at Bright Futures realized that the structure it uses could be adapted to help those impacted by the tornado. Bright Futures connects those in need with existing resources and RebuildJoplin.org is doing the same.
On May 22nd, 2011 an EF-5 tornado cut a path through Joplin that destroyed approximately 30% of the city.
In the wake of this tragic event, the people impacted began searching for trusted resources and dependable information. As an official source of information, RebuildJoplin.org was soon endorsed by the City of Joplin, Joplin Schools, and multiple partner organizations.
