The U.S. Small Business Administration announced an amendment to the Presidential disaster declaration for Oklahoma, initially declared on December 21, 2020, due to a severe winter storm from October 26 to October 29, 2020. This amendment includes additional counties—such as Alfalfa, Blaine, and Comanche—recognized as affected by the disaster. The deadline for physical loan applications is February 19, 2021, while the economic injury loan applications are due by September 21, 2021. The purpose of these loans is to assist private non-profit organizations in recovering from the storm's impact.
Simple Explanation
The President helped some places in Oklahoma that got hit by a really bad snowstorm, saying they can ask for special loans to fix things. These places now include extra towns like Alfalfa, Blaine, and Comanche, and they have until February 19, 2021, to ask for help.
