Assistance for Local Governments

Local governments play a critical role in leading Tennessee communities through response and recovery after a disaster. In the weeks and months that follow, cities, counties, and local agencies may need help covering emergency costs, repairing damaged public facilities, supporting residents and businesses, and planning for a more resilient future. This page brings together key assistance resources available after a disaster, including funding, technical support, and programs that may be activated through federal or state disaster declarations. Because availability and eligibility can vary by disaster, please use the links below to learn more about specific programs and current opportunities.
