The service will connect those in need with volunteers who may be able to assist with getting muck out, fallen trees, tarping or trashing debris. 

The hotline will remain open through Oct. 11 and all services are free, but not guaranteed due to a possible overwhelming need, both KCHD and the Sevier County EMA said.
