We're With You the Whole Way

Louisville will recover and rebuild, and the City is committed to working alongside our residents and partners every step of the way. Recovering from a disaster of this scale will take time, and we are with you as we move as quickly as possible and we are working hard to make that happen. We will continue to support and advocate for everyone in Louisville and get our residents home as soon as possible.

Key milestones of recovery include: 

• Emergency Response – The immediate aftermath of the disaster and measures taken for life, property, environmental safety. This may include mobilization of emergency responders, implementing disaster response plans and managing resources.
• Critical Services Restored – Restoration of City services like public safety, water and road access and coordinating with utilities on electricity, gas and telecommunications. City services have been restored and the City is coordinating with utilities to rebuild infrastructure.
• Debris Removal - Clearing public and private properties of fire-damaged materials and hazardous materials. This may occur through the coordinated debris removal program or independently with property permitting through the City's Planning & Building Department. The City's goal is to have all properties cleared by August 1, 2022.
• Rebuilding Homes & Public Spaces – Following completion of debris removal, property owners will begin the rebuilding process. Timing will occur on an individual basis as property owners work with architects, contractors, etc. The City will simultaneously work to repair public infrastructure that was damaged, including trails, parks, fences, landscaping, buildings, streets, sidewalks, vehicles and other property and infrastructure.
• All Homes & Businesses Reoccupied and Reopened – Recovery is complete when all residents are home and businesses have reopened. We are working hard to make that happen as quickly as possible.
