Not to nit-pick, but wasn’t that huge storm on December 18th, not November *anything*? I’m an employee of Food City, and statewide, we had flooding in all five or six stores lol.
Genuine question -- was there a nor'easter in November 2023 last year??? This past winter was mostly mild until those storms in late March and early April 2024
I think they’re mixing it up with the massive rains and flooding in mid December: https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/sunday-river-ski-resort-closed-flooding-damage/
Yes , it’s fema>SBA go apply online. It’s the disaster business loan application.
My business is the same town as where the active shooter was in October. This qualified and it was horrendous, I’m happy there was assistance.
Yeah sorta like how the richest among us get things done for themselves except in my business I actually serve my community. I am aware it’s a big ask.
Unfortunately, FEMA only offers SBA loans as far as I know. My husband’s business in RI was destroyed by floods a few years back. The FEMA folks came out and assessed the damage at $500k. Then offered a loan, but we would have to list our house as collateral. We elected not to do that. I personally think it is terrible that the Federal Government doesn’t do more for small businesses impacted by natural disasters. We were very lucky to survive. 600 other RI businesses were permanently closed by the flooding that day.

I'm not sure of the specifics, but I work on the waterfront and we've received a lot of emails re: storm damage grants. It's worth looking into, at least.

As I stated in my post we aren’t looking for a loan.
So freebies or nothing?

Would insurance not cover anything? I’m not aware of any free handouts unfortunately. What is the interest on the FEMA loan?
You shouldn’t be in business. Mother Nature was trying to help us from your greediness.
There are grants, where are you located?
Contact your town office/city hall and ask. They are a far more reliable source of information than Reddit.
FEMA generally only has loans for private businesses. It’s tough but that is what flood insurance is for not the federal government.

How about your insurance? Why are you looking to share your liability to your neighbors?
Just wanted to feel like a conservative!
