This declaration is for damages received during the severe storms and mudslides that occurred April 12, 2020. Residents and businesses who suffered damage in Caldwell, Jackson, Lincoln, Ouachita, Morehouse, Richland and Union parishes are eligible to apply.

SBA recommends that residents and businesses first file their insurance claims. They should not wait for your insurance to settle before applying for SBA assistance. SBA may be able to get their money to them sooner than their insurance, and they will work with insurance companies to make certain that no double-payments occur.
Homeowners, renters, businesses and private, non-profit organizations may apply online at https://disasterloanassistance.sba.gov. The SBA has set up a Virtual Disaster Loan Outreach Center. SBA Customer Service Representatives are available by phone at 916-735-1500 or by email at FOCWAssistance@sba.gov. The hours are 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. CDT, Monday through Friday.
