Republican Sen. Blackburn sets up pop-up offices in Tennessee to aid Hurricane Helene victims

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., has set up pop-up offices in Tennessee counties to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene. 

The temporary offices will appear in eight counties, including Greeneville and Cocke County, according to The Tennessee Star.

Hurricane Helene hit Florida last week as a Category Four storm, and caused disastrous damage in Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Those who go to the offices will receive “critical federal resources” and there will be help “replacing any federal documentation that may be needed to receive federal assistance, including social security cards, veteran records, and tax information,” Blackburn's office says.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has also set up a hotline to report missing individuals.

The pop-up offices will also assist people filling out disaster assistance applications.
