SBA disaster assistance now available for Los Angeles County businesses and residents impacted by wildfires

From the Small Business Administration:

As heroic firefighters continue to battle the devastating wildfires sweeping across Southern California, the federal government is surging resources to ensure that communities can recover. Today, SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman joined Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell and other officials at the Emergency Operations Center in Los Angeles.

SBA disaster assistance is now available to Southern California businesses, homeowners, renters and private nonprofit organizations following the President's major disaster declaration. The declaration covers Los Angeles and the contiguous counties of Kern, Orange, San Bernardino, and Ventura due to wildfires and straight-line winds that began on January 7. 

Applicants may apply online and receive additional disaster assistance information at sba.gov/disaster. Applicants also may call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance.
