Legal service organizations and bar associations are providing support in response to two federal disaster declarations for tornadoes and severe storms that struck in middle and east Tennessee over the past two months. A toll-free legal assistance hotline (1-844-HELP4TN) is available to support survivors of the disasters and more information about services, including remote legal clinics, is available at www.HELP4TN.org. Volunteers are needed to provide legal information, advice and representation to those affected. Attorneys interested in volunteering should complete this online form. Assistance is also available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration. The deadline for assistance applications related to the March tornadoes is May 4 (possible extension pending) and June 23 for the April storms.
