The mobile unit will be staffed by disaster specialists from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Help will be available from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Yorkville City Park, Highway 77 West.
Applicants with uninsured losses will be able to check the status of their requests with FEMA, get answers to questions, learn what kind of assistance is available and determine their eligibility for low-interest SBA loans for homes and businesses.
