Resources

Navigating recovery after a disaster can feel overwhelming, but having the right resources at your fingertips can make all the difference. This section is designed to provide you with comprehensive, up-to-date information on the critical services available to you and your family during this time. Please note that this page is continuously growing as we gather more information, so be sure to check back for the latest updates.

Here, you’ll find a detailed list of emergency shelters across Upper East Tennessee, including contact information, addresses, and availability. Whether you need temporary housing or a safe place to stay for the night, we’re making sure you have access to shelter options as quickly as possible.

For those in need of food, water, or essential supplies, we’ve included information on food and water distribution centers throughout the affected areas. These locations are stocked with the necessities you may need right now, and we’ll keep this page updated with any changes to their operating hours or new distribution points.

We also provide links to medical services for anyone requiring urgent care or medical attention. This includes hospitals, clinics, and mental health services that are currently available to assist you. Your physical and mental health are priorities, and we’ve made sure to compile a list of trusted facilities and organizations ready to help.

In addition to these resources, we’ve gathered details on financial assistance programs and disaster recovery aid. Whether you’re seeking help with home repairs, rebuilding, or accessing financial relief, this section offers guidance on how to apply for grants, funds, and support from both local and national organizations. We also include contact information for government agencies that are offering immediate help for those affected by the floods.

Finally, we’ve made sure to list all relevant government and local relief organizations that are actively working in the area, so you know who to reach out to for specific needs. From FEMA assistance to local outreach groups, this section provides the connections necessary to get the right help for your situation.

This page is continuously growing as we gather more information and updates, so check back regularly to stay informed. We’re committed to providing you with the most current resources to help you focus on what matters most—recovery and rebuilding. Together, we will get through this.
