NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you were impacted by the deadly tornadoes that swept through Middle Tennessee, you can receive assistance from FEMA.

To apply for the disaster assistance, you can register via: 1-800-621-3362 or online at disasterassistance.gov.

Be prepared to provide the following information:

  • Address and zip code
  • Condition of your damaged home
  • Insurance information
  • Social security number
  • Phone number where you can be contacted
  • An address to receive mail or an email address

Funds can be sent directly to your bank account, so be prepared to provide your bank account type, account number and bank routing number.

Once you apply you'll receive a FEMA registration number. Be sure to save it as you'll need it when you contact FEMA next.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
