In plain English

The federal government changed its disaster declaration for Arkansas to public assistance only, which means federal aid now repairs roads, water systems, and public buildings but not private business losses. Small business owners in affected areas should contact the SBA right away to see if they qualify for disaster relief loans and grants under these new rules.
