RECOVERY INFORMATION

There is so much misinformation, rumors, and constant changes that it is confusing to know what is going on and where to find help.   Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since Hurricane Helene hit Western NC and I continue to hear stories of courageous help and despairing devastation daily.  As I learn of the best resources and current situations I will place them on this blog.   Please share with your friends and only add positive helpful comments.   These are the main sources that I am using to learn about help, events, donations, and city and county information.

Businesses of any size are eligible. Private, non-profit organizations such as charities, churches, private universities, etc., are also eligible.
  • Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL): Working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.
