FEMA’s mission: Helping people before, during, and after disasters.

The SBA is the federal government’s primary source of money for the
long-term rebuilding of disaster-damaged private property. SBA helps
businesses of all sizes, private nonprofit organizations, homeowners
and renters fund repairs or rebuilding efforts and cover the cost of
replacing lost or disaster-damaged personal property. These disaster
loans cover losses not fully compensated by insurance or other
recoveries and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or
organizations. For more information, applicants may contact SBA’s
Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center by calling 800-659-2955,
emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov, or visiting SBA’s website
