INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is opening an SBA Workshop in Warrick County beginning Friday to assist home and business owners affected by the storms and tornadoes that began May 27th.
SBA representatives will provide one-on-one assistance to individuals and business owners in completing their disaster loan applications. Applicants can also turn in completed applications at the SBA Workshop and get their questions answered.
“The SBA Workshop adds another place where people can get help and serves as a complement to the six disaster recovery centers that are open. All of these services are available for residents of the 40 designated counties who are eligible for assistance,” said Justo “Tito” Hernandez, federal coordinating officer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “We are continually reviewing the need for these services with the advice of state and local officials and have them where needed to help people through the recovery process.”
The SBA Workshop will be at the following location:
Newburgh Senior Citizen’s Center
529 Jefferson St
Newburg, IN 47630

On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA’s continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.
