德州州长Abbott请求小企业局为El Paso洪灾发灾难声明：受灾户可望获低息联邦贷款
德克萨斯州州长 Greg Abbott 11月11日在 Austin 宣布，已向美国小企业局（SBA）请求为 El Paso County 发布灾难声明。该县位于德州最西部，10 月下旬的严重风暴与洪水给当地社区造成损失。
州长办公室表示，这项请求以地方、州与联邦官员共同完成的灾情评估为依据。若获批准，SBA 灾难声明将让受灾的房主、租户、企业与私营非营利组织可以申请低息联邦灾难贷款，用于恢复与重建。
Abbott 此前签发的州级灾难声明对 El Paso County 仍然有效，州资源继续支持当地恢复。州长办公室呼吁受灾居民继续通过州应急管理厅的灾情自报工具报告房屋与企业损失。（来源：德克萨斯州州长办公室）
Texas Governor Abbott Requests SBA Disaster Declaration for El Paso Flooding: Low-Interest Federal Loans Would Follow
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced in Austin on November 11 that he has requested a disaster declaration from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for El Paso County, following severe storms and flooding that impacted communities in Far West Texas late last month.
The governor's office said the request follows an analysis of the damage sustained in impacted communities conducted by local, state and federal officials. If approved, the SBA disaster declaration would make low-interest federal disaster loans available to eligible homeowners, renters, businesses and private nonprofit organizations to assist with recovery and rebuilding.
A state disaster declaration issued by Abbott remains in effect for El Paso County as state resources continue supporting local recovery, and impacted Texans are encouraged to keep reporting damage to homes and businesses through the Texas Division of Emergency Management's assessment tool.
