More than a month after a series of deadly tornadoes hit West and Middle Tennessee, the legal community continues to provide support and advice to those affected. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports that over 5,000 registrations have been filed by affected Tennesseans, and while on-site Disaster Resource Centers have closed to minimize risks from the COVID-19 virus, applicants can still register online or by phone in advance of the May 4 deadline. Legal assistance is available via multiple remote options, including the toll-free helpline 1-844-HELP4TN (1-844-435-7486), the Tennessee Free Legal Answers online service and remote clinics sponsored by legal aid organizations and bar associations. Information about all of these resources is available at www.HELP4TN.org. Attorneys interested in volunteering to help disaster survivors can complete this online form.
