The information and resources on this page are available for Local Emergency Management Agencies in the State of Tennessee as guidance on the federal funding assistance available to local jurisdictions through the COVID-19 National Emergency Declaration.
The National Emergency Declaration authorizes FEMA is to provide Public Assistance (PA) funding to state and local jurisdictions (counties and municipalities) for Category B Emergency Protective measures, which are those actions a community undertakes before, during, and following a disaster to save lives, protect public health and safety, and eliminate the immediate threat.
