FEMA has announced that President Donald Trump approved federal disaster assistance to support recovery efforts in areas of the state affected by severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding in April. The president’s action makes federal funding available to individuals in Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Dyer, Hardeman, McNairy, Montgomery, Obion and Wilson counties. Assistance may include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-interest loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the disaster’s impact. Federal funding also is available on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and infrastructure repairs in 19 counties, according to FEMA's press release. Individuals and business owners in the designated areas should first file claims with their insurance providers, then apply for assistance by registering at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362.
