Businesses and residents in Warrick County and contiguous counties may qualify for low interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration following damage incurred from storms that rolled through Indiana on July 30, 2024.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 26, 2024, the SBA and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) will operate a Disaster Loan Outreach Center (DLOC) in Warrick County to assist residents in filing claims and answering questions regarding potential assistance to recover from damages. The center is for those impacted by the July 30 storms only.
