Has your business been impacted by the recent Skagit Bridge on May 23rd? The Governor, recognizing that the economic effects may be felt well beyond Skagit County, has announced that the State will be collecting business impact information in the hopes of qualifying for Small Business Administration (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL). A minimum of five businesses statewide must demonstrate substantial economic injury. Businesses that suffered uninsured economic losses and are encouraged fill out an EIDL form and return it to their local emergency management office.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact the State Emergency Management Division’s Human Services Manager, Hank Cramer, harry.cramer@mil.wa.gov, 253-512-7028. Seattle businesses can submit forms through Erika Lund, Seattle Office of Emergency Management, Erika.lund@seattle.gov, 206-233-5089.
