NASHVILLE – FEMA may need to contact Tennessee residents who applied
for assistance after the Dec. 9, 2023, storms and tornadoes.
Applicants should be aware that the calls may come from out-of-state
or unidentified numbers.

It is important to answer these calls because FEMA may need more
information to continue processing an application. Although the
application deadline ended Feb. 12, FEMA specialists are continuing to
reach out to applicants to follow-up on their applications.

Applicants are asked to update FEMA about changes in contact
information. Missing or wrong information could delay the delivery of
assistance. Residents can get information about their application or
provide updates to FEMA using the FEMA Helpline, 800-621-3362. The
Helpline is toll free and available in many languages.
