Fire prompts disaster assistance
SACRAMENTO – The U.S. Small Business Administration staff are accepting applications for disaster assistance for physical damage or economic injury caused by the Summit Fire in Santa Cruz County. Businesses in Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, San Mateo and Santa Clara are eligible if they were impacted by the fire. Applications for physical damage assistance are due Aug. 11 and for economic injury are due by March 12, 2009.
“Historically in fire disasters SBA has found that most property owners have insurance coverage,” said Bruce S. Thompson, SBA’s region IX adminstrator. “However, SBA has found that for many property owners their insurance doesn’t cover the full loss. SBA’s disaster loans are available to cover the gap between the cost of rebuilding and the amount of insurance settlements.
Loans are low interest and can be for up to $200,000 for individuals. Business and nonprofits may borrow up to $1.5 million.
