Disaster recovery specialists can answer questions about their application and review information FEMA needs to process the application. Recovery specialists can supply contacts for other programs that may be able to help.
U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) representatives will be at the Disaster Recovery Centers to answer any questions about the SBA low-interest disaster loan program for homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations of all sizes. These loans are to repair or replace real estate and/or personal property damaged by the storms and flooding.
FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
