The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved over $5 million in aid to Tennessee following severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding over the past month. More than 8,100 Tennesseans have registered with FEMA for disaster assistance. $3.5 million of that aid will be allocated to cover housing assistance, almost $900,000 for disaster-related needs like funeral costs, and over $600,000 for low-interest Small Business Administration loans. FEMA says the payout comes after its agents inspected over 4,400 damaged homes and property statewide.
