布劳恩宣布6月风暴灾区可申请SBA低息灾害贷款
印第安纳州州长迈克·布劳恩10月16日宣布，美国小企业管理局（SBA）已就印第安纳州6月6日至26日的严重风暴、龙卷风、直线风和山洪发布灾害声明，受灾居民和企业主可申请低息灾害贷款。布劳恩说：“印第安纳州今年遭受了严重天气的沉重打击。我将继续为每一位受影响的居民争取支持，感谢联邦伙伴为仍在从6月灾害中恢复的人们提供帮助。”
符合条件的县包括埃尔克哈特、吉布森、哈里森、杰斐逊、莱克和沃里克六县，以及克拉克、克劳福德等23个相邻县。贷款类型包括企业实物灾害贷款和经济损失灾害贷款，私营非营利组织亦可申请；6月6日至26日之外发生的损失不在此次声明范围内。
同日，布劳恩还提醒8月洪灾灾民在10月25日截止日期前申请FEMA援助：目前仍有约200名居民住在州紧急庇护计划中，州国土安全部将牵头帮助他们从州资助的酒店住宿过渡到租赁住房等安排；8月的联邦重大灾难申报已覆盖全州21个县。
Braun Announces SBA Low-Interest Disaster Loans for June Storm Damage
Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced on October 16 that the U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a disaster declaration for Indiana counties affected by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flash flooding from June 6 through June 26, 2026, opening access to low-interest disaster loans for residents and business owners who incurred damage. 'Indiana has been hit hard this year by severe weather,' Braun said. 'I remain committed to fighting for every Hoosier who has been impacted this year and am grateful to our federal partners for providing support to those who are still recovering.'
Eligible primary counties are Elkhart, Gibson, Harrison, Jefferson, Lake and Warrick, along with 23 contiguous counties including Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Floyd and Porter. Available loans include business physical disaster loans and economic injury disaster loans, and private nonprofits are also eligible; damage outside the June 6-26 window is not covered.
Also on October 16, Braun urged residents displaced by August flooding to apply for FEMA assistance before the October 25 deadline. About 200 residents remain in the state's emergency shelter program, and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security will lead the transition from state-funded hotel stays to rental housing; a federal major disaster declaration approved in August covers 21 Indiana counties.
