HARTFORD, CONN. – Connecticut residents in Fairfield, New Haven and
New London counties who suffered damage or losses from remnants of
Hurricane Ida, have one month left to apply for disaster assistance
with FEMA and low-interest disaster loans with U.S. Small Business
Administration.

FEMA disaster assistance for individuals and families can include
money for rental assistance, essential home repairs, personal property
and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance. The
application deadline is Jan. 28, 2022.

Survivors may register with FEMA the following ways:

 	* Online at DisasterAssistance.gov
[http://www.disasterassistance.gov/]
 	* Download the FEMA app
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-app-text-messages]
 	* Call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY 800-462-7585). Lines
are open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Help is available in most languages.

Survivors should keep their contact information updated because FEMA
may need to reach them to perform a home inspection or get additional
information. FEMA encourages survivors to request direct deposit of
disaster assistance to their financial institution. Survivors should
let FEMA know as soon as possible of any changes to their mailing or
banking information.

Disaster assistance is not a substitute for insurance and cannot
compensate for all losses caused by a disaster. The assistance is
intended to meet basic needs and supplement disaster recovery efforts.

LOW-INTEREST DISASTER LOANS

U.S. Small Business Administration Disaster Loans are available for
businesses, homeowners and renters.  Next to insurance, low-interest
disaster loans from SBA are the primary source of funds for
Connecticut disaster survivors to make property repairs and replace
personal property destroyed by Hurricane Ida.

Through SBA, homeowners may be eligible for a disaster loan up to
$200,000 for primary residence structural repairs or rebuilding. SBA
may also be able to help homeowners and renters with up to $40,000 to
replace important personal property, including automobiles damaged or
destroyed in the disaster.

SBA can also help businesses and private nonprofit organizations with
up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate and
other business assets. Additionally, eligible small businesses and
nonprofits can apply for economic injury disaster loans to help meet
working capital needs caused by the disaster.

For more information, or to request a paper application, contact
SBA’s Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center call 800-659-2955,
email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov or visit SBA’s website at
sba.gov/disaster [http://www.sba.gov/disaster]. Deaf and
hard-of-hearing individuals may call 800-877-8339.

The application filing deadline for SBA physical damage loans is Jan.
28, 2022.

The application filing deadline for SBA economic injury loans for
businesses affected by the storm is Aug. 1, 2022.
