NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new Disaster Recovery Center is opening at the Madison Public Library: 610 Gallatin Pike S Madison, TN, 37115. It will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is opening the Disaster Recovery Center to offer families and individuals the services they need after the Dec. 9 tornadoes and severe storms.
FEMA representatives will be on-site to help provide guidance, as well as specialists from federal, state and local agencies who can help with housing, insurance and financial assistance among other things.
If you haven't already, FEMA encourages everyone affected by the storms to register for assistance online or by calling the FEMA helpline, 1-800-621-3362. There are language translation services for those who need it.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
