Chattanooga, TN – According to the state officials, survivors now have until Tuesday, January 7, 2025, to apply for federal disaster assistance.
“As communities in East Tennessee continue the rebuilding process, we remain focused on ensuring critical resources are available,” Gov. Lee said. “The road to recovery will be long, and I thank our federal partners for granting resources to further severe weather response and recovery.”
Residents in Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Johnson, Unicoi, and Washington counties are eligible to apply for Individual Assistance.
