assistance, learn about the types of assistance available, learn about
the appeals process and get updates on applications.

Storm survivors in Davidson, Dickson, Montgomery and Sumner counties
may be eligible for FEMA financial assistance for temporary lodging,
basic home repairs, personal property losses and other uninsured
disaster-related expenses.

In addition to visiting a center, homeowners and renters can apply
by going online to disasterassistance.gov
[http://www.disasterassistance.gov/], using the FEMA mobile app
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-app-text-messages] or
calling 800-621-3362. The phone line is open daily, and help is
available in most languages. If you use a relay service, such as video
relay (VRS), captioned telephone or other service, give FEMA your
number for that service.

Disaster Recovery Centers are accessible to people with disabilities.
They have assistive technology equipment that allows disaster
survivors to interact with staff. Video Remote Interpreting is
available and in-person sign language is available by request. The
centers also have accessible parking, ramps and restrooms.
