CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The company contracted to remove storm debris in Bradley County began its second phase of work Monday.

The crews will make second passes through neighborhoods already covered and add others in which damage was not as severe from the April 27 tornadoes and storms.

The company, Unified Recovery Group, expects the work to take about 10 more days, the Bradley County Commission was told Monday.

Matt Carlson, chairman of the Bradley County-Cleveland Long Term Recovery Organization, said Monday the group is seeking a full-time recovery director and full-time case manager.

The organization is made up of more than 30 volunteer organizations, and more are invited to join, especially because the Federal Emergency Management Agency won’t be in the county forever, he said.
