ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration announced today that additional areas have been added to the Presidential declaration for Public Assistance and of the May 6 deadline to submit disaster loan applications for physical damages caused by a severe winter storm and snowstorm on Jan. 22 - 23, 2016.

Examples of eligible non-critical PNP organizations include, but are not limited to, food kitchens, homeless shelters, museums, libraries, community centers, schools and colleges.
“PNP organizations are urged to contact their local Emergency Manager to obtain information about briefings.
