A federal program could help businesses that were hurt financially due to power outages and other aspects of the Dec. 14 and 15 windstorm, but only if the losses are reported quickly.
It is important for all businesses to report their financial impacts because the total number that were affected and the total impact on the business community are key factors in determining whether assistance is available to any local business.
"We need your information even if you don’t think you will benefit from this program," said Cheryl Bledsoe, emergency management manager for Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency in a prepared statement. "Your report could help set the state for someone else to receive federal assistance."
More information and damage report forms are available at 360-992-9229.
