<br />LESSONS of RECOVERY - A REViEW of Tin 1997 COLORAdo Flood DisASTER <br /> <br />Checks are issued promptly following an on-site visit from an SBA loss verifier, who determines the dollar cost <br />for disaster-related property repairs andlor replacement. Following the flood disaster of 1997, SBA approved <br />more than $10 million in disaster loans for over 670 homes and businesses to cover personal property <br />losses. <br /> <br />Agricultural Assistance <br /> <br /> <br />Emergency agricultural loans for physical and production losses can be obtained from the Farm Service <br />Agency of the U,S. Department of Agriculture following a Presidential declaration or designation by <br />the Secretary of Agriculture. Low-interest emergency loans and technical assistance are available to <br />family farmers and ranchers to repair disaster-caused damages to primary residences, outbuildings, crops and <br />other farm or ranch property. Emergency loans may also be used for essential family living expenses, <br />delinquent installments, refinance of debts, and for the purchase of essential equipment and livestock. <br /> <br />Loan assistance is intended to help restore productive operations as soon as possible, thereby enabling <br />farmers and ranchers to obtain credit from private sources. Farms and ranches in counties contiguous to <br />declared or designated counties may also qualify for loan assistance. Applications are made to the Farm <br />Service Agency office serving the declared county, where assistance in completing the required forms can also <br />be obtained. Loan applications may be made up to eight months after the disaster. <br /> <br />Other Forms of Disaster Assistance for Individuals and Families I <br /> <br />Individual disaster victims may also obtain assistance about insurance, legal services, income taxes and <br />other services from established government offices in Colorado, or by calling toll-free numbers that are <br />publicized after a disaster in affected areas. <br /> <br />Disaster Unemployment Assistance <br /> <br />Direct weekly benefit payments to individuals who are out of work as a result of a disaster -- including self- <br />employed workers, farmers and other victims who may not be covered by regular unemployment insurance <br />programs -- can be obtained from local job service offices. The Disaster Unemployment Assistance <br />Program, which is administered by the Colorado Department of labor and Employment and funded by <br />FEMA, is discussed in more detail under State Recovery Programs and Activities. <br /> <br />Social Security Assistance <br /> <br />The Social Security Administration can assist disaster victims by helping to expedite the delivery of Social <br />Security payments delayed by the disaster, especially for recipients who have been displaced by the disaster <br />and no longer reside at their former address. The local office can also assist victims in applying for Social <br />Security disability and survivor benefits. <br /> <br />Income Tax Advice and Assistance <br /> <br />The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Taxpayer Services Division, can assist disaster victims who have an <br />estimated tax installment due. The IRS allows certain casualty losses to be deducted on federal income tax <br /> <br />COLORAdo OffiCE of EMERliENcy MANAliEMENT <br /> <br />30 <br />
