Southwest Tennessee Community College’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) have opened a Business Recovery Center office at the University of Memphis’ Millington Center, 6500 Navy Road, Millington, TN. 

The Millington Center was opened to serve the twelve additional counties that have been designated for disaster assistance as part of Tennessee’s federal disaster declaration. 

Tennessee's State Department of Human Services offices will be open this Saturday in flood-affected counties and officials will be administering short-term food and cash assistance programs for victims.

Low income families that have registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency could be eligible for one-time cash payments of up to $500.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has created a Facebook page to help it better communicate with people affected by recent floods in Tennessee.

According to FEMA offcials, the Tennessee Flood Information by TEMA and FEMA page hosts an online community where those affected by the disaster and those active in the response can share information.

Participants in the online community are invited to share stories, tips and links that may help those affected by the disaster.  They can also seek information on assistance in their area. 

Widgets are also available to carry disaster information to the public. This predesigned tool includes direct links to information such as how to apply for assistance.
