ATLANTA, May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration adds nine additional counties to the Presidential declaration for Public Assistance and reminds eligible Private NonProfit (PNP) organizations in Tennessee of the June 1 deadline to submit disaster loan applications for physical damages caused by the severe winter storm and flooding on Feb. 15 – 22, 2015.

PNPs that provide non-critical services located in the following counties in Tennessee are eligible to apply: Anderson, Bedford, Bledsoe, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Clay, Cocke, Coffee, Cumberland, Davidson, DeKalb, Fentress, Giles, Grainger, Greene, Grundy, Hamblen, Hancock, Hardeman, Hardin, Hawkins, Jefferson, Knox, Lawrence, Loudon, Marshall, McMinn, McNairy, Meigs, Monroe, Moore, Morgan, Obion, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Rhea, Roane, Scott, Sevier, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne and White.
