FEMA has announced that federal disaster assistance is now available to the state of Tennessee to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by severe storms and straight-line winds that occurred July 18-21. Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state. Public assistance federal funding is available to the state, tribal and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms and straight-line winds in Fayette, Henry, Shelby and Tipton counties. Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide. For questions contact FEMA-NewsDesk-Tennessee@FEMA-DHS.gov.
