Tacoma, WA – April 26, 2008 – KOMPAN, Inc. On the evening of May 4, 2007, the 1,500 citizens of Greensburg, KS spent a night in fear as they listened to the howling winds of an F-5 twister tear through their town. Several people were killed during this tragic event and roughly 95% of the entire town was leveled leaving nearly all of the town’s residents homeless.

Since the tornado’s devastation nearly a year ago, the citizens of Greensburg have reaffirmed their commitment to rebuild their town and in a way unlike any other.
