Event description
If your business or nonprofit was affected by the devastating tornado that struck the St. Louis region, help is available—but only for a limited time.
Join representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Disaster Recovery Team, FEMA, the Missouri Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and the City of St. Louis for this timely and informative session.
You’ll receive direct guidance on how to access federal disaster loan programs, apply for critical recovery funds, and connect with local experts who can support you through every step of the process.
Why You Should Attend Now:
Federal teams from FEMA and SBA are currently deployed on the ground—but they won’t be here forever. Once they leave, your opportunity for in-person support becomes limited. This session is your chance to:
Learn which disaster loan and grant programs you’re eligible for
Get step-by-step instructions for completing SBA forms
Understand FEMA’s role in business recovery
Discover local programs and support available from the City of St. Louis
Ask questions directly to federal and local recovery experts
Access follow-up help from your regional SBDC
Who Should Attend:
Small business owners in tornado-declared areas
Nonprofit leaders affected by property loss or income disruption
Landlords or commercial property owners
Businesses needing capital to recover or rebuild
This is a free event, but registration is required.
Live Q&A and downloadable resources will be provided
