Presidential Declaration Amendment of a Major Disaster for Public Assistance Only for the State of Mississippi

Small Business Administration — observed across 2 documents over 35 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.

In plain English

The federal government is amending the Mississippi disaster declaration to provide only public infrastructure assistance, cutting off direct help to individuals and businesses. If you own a small business in Mississippi, you won't qualify for SBA disaster loans under this declaration, so you should explore other disaster assistance programs right away.
