JACKSON, Tenn. -- Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) are relocating throughout disaster-declared areas in Tennessee to help victims with disaster assistance questions, according to state and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials.

The mobile DRCs can move quickly into areas affected by the recent tornadoes and are staffed to assist victims with their applications for federal disaster assistance. Representatives from state and federal agencies and voluntary organizations will be on hand to answer questions about assistance programs and services. Disaster assistance may include grants for temporary housing, minor housing repairs and other needs, such as transportation and medical expenses. Assistance also may be in the form of U.S. Small Business Administration low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters and business owners.
