SBA Opens Disaster Loans in Multiple Disaster Areas, From Guam Typhoon to Hawaii Hurricane
The Federal Register on October 14 published a batch of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster declarations following major disaster declarations the President signed on October 7 covering Super Typhoon Bavi in Guam (FEMA-4946-DR), Hurricane Lala in Hawaii (FEMA-4951-DR), severe storms and tornadoes in Wisconsin (FEMA-4949-DR), and flooding in West Virginia.
Under the notices, eligible private nonprofit organizations in the affected areas may apply for SBA physical disaster loans at an interest rate of 3.625 percent. The deadline for physical-loss loan applications is December 7, 2026, and for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) it is July 7, 2027.
SBA disaster loans are available to affected businesses, homeowners, renters and nonprofit organizations, with applications handled through the SBA's disaster loan assistance channels. County lists and eligibility details for each area appear in the individual declarations published in the Federal Register that day.
