Attention: To All Who Have Sustained Damage Due To Tropical Storm Ida
 
“Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – Working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.”
 
Residential property damage is NOT covered under the current declaration. Berks County is currently short of the threshold of homeowners with property damage which exceeds the 40% uninsured loss. We will continue to accept damage assessments.
 
If you are a resident of Lower Alsace Township whose property sustained flood damage and had NOT yet reported to the Township office, please contact the Emergency Management Coordinator at 610-779-6400 so a report can be prepared. As it states above, the County has not yet met the damage threshold to qualify for this funding.
