FROM JOHNSON COUNTY TN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: 

​

Citizens in need of assistance with clean up efforts on their personal property can call the Johnson County Property Assessor's Office at 423-727-7692 and let them know what you need. We are collecting information to send to volunteer clean-up teams to demonstrate our county's need for assistance. This service will be at no cost if we are able to obtain it.

​

The National Guard Armory building at 1923 S Shady St will be open daily from 9AM to 7PM to get water and supplies that you may need. We will continue to work on getting supplies to our area. 

​

The American Red Cross Shelter remains open at the First Christian Church (401 W Main St).
 
Our crews are continuing to clear areas and check on residents. We will continue those efforts today. If you have someone that you have not heard from you can use the TBI Hotline (1-800-TBI-FIND).

 

We have agents with our local law enforcement following up on requests.

​

We will continue to work with our utilities and road crews to get them any resources they need to help you.​​​​

​

NOTE: The Salvation Army is set up behind the Armory with free hot meals, water and supplies on Tuesday!

POSTAL SERVICE UPDATE: 

 

It is expected that the Trade Post Office will remain closed as there is no way for a mail truck to access it. The routes to get there take at least an hour each way. A mobile unit has been set up in the Mountain City Post Office parking lot. PO Box mail already in Trade will be brought down by a supervisor. Delivery routes will continue to run out of Elizabethton to as many addresses as possible. Please check back for updates.
