While state and federal assistance is beginning to arrive for victims of Hurricane Helene, some state laws are actually inhibiting their ability to protect themselves from being victimized a second time.
According to a Monday evening update from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, 15 people are now confirmed dead in Tennessee as a result of Hurricane Helene. This increase comes after two more fatalities were reported in Unicoi County and one more was reported in Washington County.
Several more remain missing across a number of East Tennessee counties.
