NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene in counties across East Tennessee, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) announced pop-up office hours in affected counties for staff to provide immediate assistance to flood victims:

“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the recent flooding,” said Senator Blackburn. “As we continue to coordinate with local, state, and federal agencies to support recovery efforts, I want to ensure that every impacted resident has access to the resources they need.”

• Pop-up office hours will be available to help residents access critical federal resources and navigate replacing any federal documentation that may be needed to receive federal assistance, including social security cards, veteran records, and tax information.

• Staff can also assist flood victims in following up on disaster assistance applications with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 
• Constituents are encouraged to bring any relevant documentation with them, such as proof of residency and identification, to streamline the process.

• For those unable to attend pop-up office hours, assistance remains available at Senator Blackburn’s state offices or at https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/helene.

• For more information on pop-up office hours, please contact (423) 753-4009.
