OPP 1 - Greensburg - A Lesson in Cooperation

Tuesday, April 28, 2009  ·  10:00 AM - 11:45 AM

In the wake of the EF-5 tornado that devastated Greensburg the world watched as an influx of federal, state, and local governments along with literally thousands of volunteers converged on the small Kansas town. They had one goal: to help pick up the pieces and rebuild.
