Today we reflect on the devastating tornadoes that struck Tennessee on March 3, 2020. In the aftermath of the disaster, we witnessed the true Volunteer Spirit as neighbors and community members gathered to support each other.
We are here at @volunteertn’s Conference in Franklin! Are you attending? Come say 'hi'! We are sharing info about our association, how we can connect with your organization, and partnering with the local EMA, @WCTNEMA, to hand out personal preparedness information and resources!
Tennessee @GovBillLee has asked FEMA to work with TEMA on a joint Preliminary Damage Assessment to determine the state’s eligibility for federal assistance for counties impacted in the floods and severe ice storm on Feb. 3-4, 2022.
