U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA)   Disaster Assistance
for Homeowners, Renters, and Businesses of all Sizes

June 27, 2012 -- 12:00 Noon Eastern

EMForum.org is pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive discussion Wednesday, June 27, 2012, beginning at 12:00 Noon Eastern time (please convert to your local time). Our topic will be the services that are provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration in the aftermath of a declared disaster, including low interest loans to businesses and individuals to repair or replace real estate, personal property, machinery and equipment, inventory and business assets that have been damaged or destroyed.

Our guests will include Kevin Wynne, Public Information Officer with the SBA's Disaster Assistance Office in Sacramento, CA since 2006. When disasters strike, Kevin travels to impacted communities to explain the SBA Disaster Loan Program and helps disaster victim's access and obtain long-term recovery assistance. Mr. Wynne joined the SBA just weeks after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast serving in the Loan Processing Department where he underwrote hundreds of disaster loan applications.

Also joining us is Mary "Kathy" Cook, Public Affairs Specialist with the SBA's Disaster Assistance Office in Atlanta, GA, where she is proactive in providing information on the Disaster Recovery Program as well as responding to inquiries from the media, government officials, and the public. Her experience with SBA exceeds 20 years during which time she served victims of some of the most devastating disasters including Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, the Mid-West Floods, and the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.
