Three more Tennessee counties are now authorized to receive public assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as they recover from severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding in April. FEMA announced Monday that Carroll, Houston and Wayne counties are now eligible for public assistance funding, which helps reimburse some local government costs for debris removal and repairs to public infrastructure or facilities. They join 19 other counties that previously were announced. Tennessee Lookout reports the news. The paper also notes that FEMA has approved $3.4 million in individual assistance for the storms.
