Abstract:
A variety of disaster assistance is available to homeowners, farmers, and businesses with property damage. Lending agencies may make loans for home repair, home improvement, equipment repair or replacement, etc.
Federal and state assistance may be available if the governor declares the community a disaster area. Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC) provide
information and take applications for assistance. Low-interest loans and cost-sharing programs can be appealing. Carefully consider the financial
impact before borrowing against a household, farm, or business.
