The declaration covers Escambia and Tuscaloosa counties and the counties of Baldwin, Bibb, Conecuh, Covington, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Monroe, Pickens and Walker in Alabama; and Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa in Florida.

“Waiting to file an SBA application could cause unnecessary delays in receiving disaster assistance, and survivors may miss the application deadline. Submitting the loan application is an essential part of the disaster recovery process,” said Kem Fleming, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.

As Patch previously reported, the SBA set up in Northport City Hall in late July to offer in-person assistance for those looking to apply for disaster loans.

The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is Sept. 20, while the
deadline to return economic injury applications is April 22, 2022.
