Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Monday requested the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) expedite resources under his Major Disaster Declaration to assist Tennessee’s storm and flood victims. If the request is granted, Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Johnson, Unicoi and Washington counties will receive public assistance and individual assistance on top of the federal assistance that has already been authorized. Lee surveyed storm damage and met with local officials in affected areas of East Tennessee this week, KnoxNews reports.
