FEMA Declaration for 8 counties in Tennessee Conference

FEMA has approved 8 counties in the Tennessee Conference as eligible for federal disaster assistance: Cannon, Cheatham, Cumberland, Davidson, Dickson, Maury, Sumner, and Warren.

Persons affected by the April 7th storms have a very short period to apply for federal assistance, so it is important that everyone who suffered damage register ASAP. Affected households should register, even if they don't think they qualify or need the assistance because if you decide later you need help you cannot register after registration closes (no close date available).

Assistance may include temporary housing, repair, other personal needs, disaster loans, and special tax considerations. Persons can register at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or the TTY line for individuals who are speech and hearing impaired at 1-800-462-7585 or at http://www.fema.gov/assistance
