The decision came less than three weeks after the February 15 EF-1 tornado which caused severe damage to the city
“We had the insurance adjuster here [Thursday]
and he almost witnessed two wrecks at an intersection where people aren’t abiding by temporary stop signs,” Mayor William Foster explained
Foster added that the intersections in question are a stretch of three along downtown Tuscumbia’s Main Street
According to WAFF 48’s newspaper partner, the Times Daily, <a href="https://www.timesdaily.com/life/general_interest/local-state-of-emergency-declared-in-tuscumbia/article_93794c22-fb6f-11ef-b586-db9d8c1908eb.html" target="_blank" rel="" title="https://www.timesdaily.com/life/general_interest/local-state-of-emergency-declared-in-tuscumbia/article_93794c22-fb6f-11ef-b586-db9d8c1908eb.html">the intersections generally have functioning red lights</a>
but the steel utility poles were destroyed during the storm
they could not be repaired with the usual wooden poles stocked by Tuscumbia Utilities
temporary four-way stop signs have been placed at the intersections
recommended that we declare the emergency because we have a public safety issue on our hands,” Foster said
“When we clarify that this is an emergency
then the insurance company can fast-track the repair process.” 
Foster said after the state of emergency was declared
he could contact a contractor who will begin ordering necessary parts and pulling wire for the utility lines
he anticipates the repairs will be completed at least a month sooner than they otherwise would be
“The rest of the repairs will be at a normal pace,” Foster said
“Because this is an issue of public safety
we want to get it done as quickly as possible.”
