During this period, SBA responded to several major disaster events, including Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, the Los Angeles wildfires, flooding in Kerr County, Texas, and numerous severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding incidents nationwide. Additionally, to meet the urgent needs of survivors affected by Hurricanes Milton and Helene, SBA re-opened and extended the application period for physical damage disaster loan requests.
