The Federal Emergency Management Agency said that the area won't be declared a federal disaster area because less than 600 uninsured buildings were damaged and there was less than $13 million of damage to public roads and utilities.

GEMA has asked for help from the Small Business Administration, which would provide low interest loans for homeowners and businesses to rebuild. Until then, the Adairsville community is committed to helping their own.
"Of course FEMA and GEMA didn't come in, but that's OK. We kind of came, as a community, came together to make it better for everybody," said Andrea Riobe.
The Red Cross has set up a call center to help find people a place to sleep. They are open between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. and can be reached at 404-870-4440.
