The City of Montebello is hosting a Tornado Recovery Rapid Response Resource Fair to help workers and businesses that were affected by the recent tornado.
On March 22, a small tornado hit the city of Montebello ripping the roof of a business and through debris that damaged vehicles. It caused millions of dollars of damage and some employees are still without work.
The LA County First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis along with the City of Montebello and the County's Department of Economic Opportunity have collaborated to host this event. Numerous state, county and local agencies are also contributing informational and staff resources to individuals.
