The deadline has passed, but federal help may still be available for survivors of August flooding that impacted Dickson, Hickman, Houston and Humphreys counties. According to WPLN, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration are still accepting appeals and late applications. So far, federal authorities have approved about $16 million in disaster relief, 128 low-interest loans worth more than $9 million, and $7 million for about 2,500 affected households. Flood survivors who missed the application deadline or believe they did not receive enough funds are encouraged to submit an appeal as soon as possible.
