FEMA Teams Working in Tennessee

FEMA is meeting survivors where they are to help jumpstart their recovery from the March 31 - April 1, 2023, severe storms and tornadoes. FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) teams are going door-to-door in Cannon, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Lewis, Macon, McNairy, Rutherford, Tipton and Wayne County neighborhoods to help individuals apply for FEMA assistance.

Using mobile technology, DSA personnel can help survivors apply for assistance, update a FEMA application, and answer questions about federal assistance.

DSA teams wear FEMA attire and have federal photo identification badges. There is no charge for service. If you suspect fraud or fraudulent activity report it immediately. Call your local police or sheriff’s office or you can call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362.

It is not necessary to wait for a visit from DSA to apply for assistance. Survivors can go online to disasterassistance.gov, use the FEMA mobile app  or call 800-621-3362, 6 a.m. to midnight Central Time seven days a week. Help is available in most languages. If you use a relay service such as Video Relay Service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service when you apply.
