Gov. Bill Lee has announced that three more counties — Claiborne, Grainger and Sullivan — have been approved for FEMA’s public assistance program. Public assistance helps state and local governments in debris removal, life-saving emergency protective measures, restoring public infrastructure and hazard mitigation for future disasters. Several counties also received approval for permanent work assistance. The TBA Disaster Resources page offers general information for those impacted by disasters, as well as those seeking to provide assistance. The TBA's Helene Disaster Response page has information and resources specific to this disaster.
