The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) provides assistance to individuals and families who have been displaced by a disaster. TEMA can provide temporary housing, food, and other essential needs.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides disaster assistance loans to small businesses and homeowners. SBA disaster loans can be used to repair or replace damaged property, equipment, and inventory.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides grants and other assistance to individuals and families who have been impacted by a disaster. FEMA assistance can be used for temporary housing, home repairs, and replacement of essential personal property.
