Tennessee has requested and received a 30-day extension of deadlines for FEMA assistance programs that will assist individuals in the 46 counties eligible for Individual Assistance as a result of the flooding that struck the state, according to Governor Phil Bredesen.
"I'm extremely pleased people will have more time to register to get the help they need as Tennessee recovers from these historic and devastating floods," said Bredesen.
FEMA has approved the state's request to extend the registration deadline for Individual Assistance to Aug. 5. Disaster survivors in the counties designated for Individual Assistance may apply online anytime at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or call the FEMA HelpLine at 800-621-3362 (FEMA)
