NASHVILLE, Tenn. – One month after a Major Disaster Declaration was signed for middle and west Tennessee following severe storms and tornadoes last December, more than $4.4 million in federal funds has been provided to residents to assist in their recovery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Disasters often bring communities together but con artists, identity thieves and other criminals may target survivors working to rebuild after last December’s severe weather and tornadoes.

Houses of Worship and other religious nonprofit organizations may be eligible for FEMA Public Assistance to cover the costs for emergency protective measures, debris removal and repairing or replacing facilities damaged during the severe storms and tornadoes that occurred from Dec. 10-11, 2021, in Cheatham, Davidson, Decatur, Dickson, Dyer, Gibson, Henderson, Henry, Lake, Obion, Stewart, Sumner, and Weakley counties.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.– Those affected by last December’s severe storms and tornadoes may need more financial assistance for long-term recovery than FEMA can provide. Most disaster survivors do.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Major Disaster Declaration signed on Jan. 14, 2022, for middle and west Tennessee following damage caused by a line of tornadoes last December was amended Thursday, February 3, to include funding for FEMA Public Assistance (PA), which supplements state and local recovery efforts.
