On Wednesday, Small Business Administrator Hector Barreto vowed to be “swift in our efforts” to help small business owners rebuild their lives.
“We’ve been there before, and we’re ready to provide recovery aid again,” Barreto said in a statement.

Michael Lampton, a spokesperson for the SBA, said the priority was to help storm victims get to safety and back on their feet.

“Most people are going to want to get themselves together before checking in on their business,” he said.

Adding to their woes, many businesses not leveled by the storm are now facing rising floodwaters. That and continued looting.
