We wanted to post several links for business owners effected by Hurricane Irene and the flooding that ensued. Many of the response items vary by state, but here is a consolidated listing to bookmark. Everyone at OED is pulling for you and your business!
Select counties within the following states have received Federal Disaster Declarations:
CT, MA, NC, NH, NJ (all counties), NY, RI, VA, VT
The complete listing of Declarations by date is available on the FEMA site.
To begin processing, keep informed and KEEP DOCUMENTATION at every step. Even the smallest receipt may be of huge value soon.
Locate your Disaster Recovery Center if one is available. These are staffed by people who know the policies and work with them everyday. If a DRC is open in your area, it's worth the trip to them vs. trying only online or over phone.
Your business may be able to receive SBA support if you are in NC, NJ, NY, or PR.
Select grants and programs to rebuild are listed on FEMA's site as well:
Grants and Assistance Programs for Individuals
Declarations, information, and online resources are changing on a nearly daily basis so keep informed. In the pressure to get your business running, you may overlook a key, costly update. We will do our best to monitor any updates for effected areas and pass those details along here and via Twitter.
Check the OED Community for updates too!
Thanks for share post about Business recovery.
