Tennessee is home to a diverse array of wildlife and ecosystems, many of which are vulnerable to the impacts of disaster. Natural disasters can cause extensive damage to wildlife populations and their habitats, as well as disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is the primary agency responsible for managing the state’s wildlife and ecosystems. In the event of a natural disaster, the TWRA works to assess the damage and develop a plan for recovery.
The impact of disaster on Tennessee’s wildlife and ecosystems can be significant. In some cases, entire populations of animals may be wiped out. Habitats can be destroyed, and ecosystems can be disrupted. The TWRA works to minimize the impact of disaster on Tennessee’s wildlife and ecosystems, and to ensure a successful recovery.
