FEMA Trailers Moving into East Tennessee Counties Affected by Hurricane Helene

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is moving trailers into areas of East Tennessee affected by Hurricane Helene.

The storm moved through the area in September of last year, prompting thousands in the eastern third of the state to begin a recovery process that has seen plenty of ups and downs.

FEMA says those in several Tennessee counties including Carter, Cocke, Greene, Johnson, Unicoi and Washington can expect trailers to begin arriving this week.

Those trailers are manufactured housing units that come ready for survivors to occupy. The agency addressed the months-long process in getting the units ready, saying it involves ordering, installing and permitting each trailer.

In the months since the disaster, several organizations have donated campers and temporary housing options to individuals.
