What is Tennessee Recovery Project?
The Tennessee Recovery Project (TRP) is a program created through a FEMA grant to provide free emotional outreach services to persons affected by the recent Tennessee floods. TRP’s purpose is to support the emotional well being of flood survivors by increasing resiliency while decreasing chronic mental health diseases related to the flooding event.
Centerstone, along with 4 other mental health agencies, are working together at TRP in all of the counties that were declared Federal Disaster Areas under FEMA DR 1909 TN.

Tennessee Recovery Project
The Tennessee Recovery Project (TRP) is being administered via FEMA’s Immediate Services Program (ISP) (first 90 days post event) and Regular Services Program (RSP) (subsequent nine months to the anniversary date of the event).

Name Change“Access & Functional
Need”2010
TERM FORMERLY KNOW AS “SPECIAL NEEDS” WAS REPLACED WITH “ACCESS AND SPECIAL NEEDS”
FEMA FELT “ACCESS & FUNCTIONAL NEEDS” WAS MORE INCLUSIVE
TERM “SPECIAL NEEDS” DID NOT WORK IN EMERGENCY PLANNING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE GUIDANCE TO OPERATIONALIZE THE TASKS NEEDED
![Page 17: TENNESSEE](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815aa5550346895dc83b58/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Access & Functional Need”
2010
ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH “SPECIAL NEEDS” WAS IT LEAD TO SEGREGATION AND UNEQUAL SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
NO ONE WANTS TO BE “SPECIAL” DURING AN EMERGENCY, THEY WANT TO RECEIVE THE SAME SERVICES AS EVERYONE ELSE.
TERM “ACCESS & FUNCTIONAL NEEDS” IS MORE USEFUL AS A DESCRIPTION OF EVERYONE WHO MAY REQUIRE ACCOMMODATIONS THROUGHOUT A DISASTER

FEMA’s New Philosophy
The “special needs” approach should be eliminated from
emergency planning because accommodations for people with
access and functional needs should always be incorporated
throughout all plans.
