  • Sevier County EMA Event Information Updates
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced the availability of low-interest disaster loans for Sevier County residents impacted by Hurricane Helene and the subsequent flooding of the French Broad River.
Eligible homeowners can apply for disaster loans up to $500,000 to repair or replace disaster-damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are also eligible for up to $100,000 to repair or replace disaster-damaged or destroyed personal property, including automobiles.
Application Deadlines:
– Physical Damage: November 27, 2024
– Economic Injury: June 30, 2025
Applicants are encouraged to apply online at sba.gov/disaster or contact the SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955.

If you or someone you know needs help cleaning up damage from Hurricane Helene at your home/residence, call (844) 965-1386 to ask for help. Crisis Cleanup connects volunteers from local relief organizations, community groups and faith communities who may be able to assist with mucking out after floods, moving debris to curbs, tarping roofs, and chain-sawing downed trees.

All services are free, but service is not guaranteed due to the overwhelming need.

This hotline will remain open through Friday, October 11, 2024.

To report damages, complete the Citizen Damage Report: https://arcg.is/1DeLzn2. Please note, this is ONLY to report damage and does NOT serve as ANY form of emergency notification or response request.
