When disaster strikes, it can be difficult to know where to turn. If you have cultural or historic sites in Tennessee, there are a few things you can do to navigate the disaster cleanup process.
The first step is to contact your insurance company. You will need to provide them with a list of damaged or destroyed items, as well as an estimate of the cost of repairs. If you have photos or video of the damage, this can be helpful as well.
Once you have contacted your insurance company, you should contact the Tennessee Historical Commission. They can provide you with information about grants and other assistance that may be available.
Finally, you will need to begin the process of cleaning up and repairing the damage. This can be a daunting task, but there are a few resources that can help. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency has a list of cleanup contractors that can help with the process.
Navigating disaster cleanup can be difficult, but it is important to take care of Tennessee’s cultural and historic sites. With a little bit of planning and some help from state agencies, you can get your site back up and running in no time.
