    The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced a Presidential declaration of a major disaster for parts of Alaska, specifically for public assistance, following severe storms and flooding from October 20-23, 2024. This declaration enables Private Non-Profit organizations offering essential governmental services to apply for disaster loans. Interested parties can submit applications online through the MySBA Loan Portal or at specified locations. The designated affected areas include the Bering Strait Regional Educational Attendance Area and the Northwest Arctic Borough.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is helping some places in Alaska that got really rainy and flooded by letting special groups borrow money to fix things. But, it's a bit tricky because they don't say exactly who can get the help and they don't tell you all the places to go if you can't use the internet.

    In North Carolina, there was a big storm called Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight, and it caused lots of damage in some places. The government is giving special help, like money to fix things, to the places that got hurt, but they are only paying for part of it and won’t pay for everything.
