The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a notice about a major disaster declaration for the state of Maryland due to Tropical Storm Isaias. This disaster declaration allows certain Private Non-Profit organizations that offer essential government-like services to apply for loans to help with physical and economic damages. The storm took place from August 3 to August 4, 2020, and the affected counties include Calvert, Dorchester, and Saint Mary's. The deadline for physical loan applications is April 5, 2021, and for economic injury loan applications, it's November 4, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government said that because of a big storm called Isaias, they will help some special groups in Maryland by letting them borrow money to fix things and keep running. This is because the storm damaged places in Maryland, like Calvert, Dorchester, and Saint Mary's, in early August 2020.
