News and Media: Disaster 4701

FEMA is seeking Tennessee residents to fill a growing list of positions to assist with recovery from the March 31 to April 1, 2023, storms and tornadoes. Current jobs are based in Nashville.

FEMA is only part of the recovery solution for most survivors of Tennessee’s March 31 to April 1, 2023, tornadoes. Other government agencies and private voluntary and faith-based community organizations are available to help. FEMA’s Voluntary Agency Liaison works with many of them to make sure survivors get the assistance they need. Below are community services available through the state and community groups:

Some $8.5 million in federal disaster assistance is helping fuel the recovery of residents and businesses that suffered damage from the recent tornadoes that tore across Western and Middle Tennessee.

Homeowners and renters in Cannon, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Lewis, Macon, McNairy, Rutherford, Tipton and Wayne counties who had damage or losses in the March 31 to April 1 storms and tornadoes have just two weeks left to apply for federal disaster assistance.

Tennessee’s major disaster declaration for the March 31 to April 1 storms and tornadoes now authorizes additional funding under FEMA’s Public Assistance program to pay for eligible permanent work to restore community infrastructure.
