FEMA has approved almost $717,000 in assistance for Putnam County residents affected by the March 3rd tornado.
Much of the money has already been deposited into the accounts of residents impacted. If you were denied benefits, please read your letter carefully to understand why you did not receive assistance. FEMA Officials said in many cases it can simply be a clerical issue or a missing piece of paperwork.
Residents also have the right to appeal the FEMA decision. The appeal must be filed with a signed letter withing 60 days of your denial letter. The letter must include why you disagree with the FEMA decision.
The appeal must include:
- Applicant’s full name, date of birth and current address
- Applicant’s signature and the date
- Applicant’s registration number (on every page)
- FEMA disaster declaration number – DR-4476-TN (on every page)
