More Tennessee counties eligible for FEMA assistance after tornadoes
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – More Tennessee counties have been deemed eligible for FEMA assistance after the Dec. 9 tornado outbreak.
Homeowners and renters in Cheatham, Gibson and Stewart counties can apply for FEMA financial help.
The help may include temporary housing assistance, basic home repairs and certain other uninsured disaster-related needs. These counties are joining Davidson, Dickson, Montgomery and Sumner, who were previously deemed eligible for assistance.
Here’s what you need to do if you’re applying for assistance:
- To apply, call toll-free 800-621-3362, go online to DisasterAssistance.gov, download the FEMA App or visit a Disaster Recovery Center. The phone line is open daily, and help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service such as VRS, captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service.
