Disaster Relief
When a disaster occurs, we work with individual businesses to determine the resources and support they might need. This includes the Small Business Disaster Relief Fund that allows business impacted by the fire to access up to $10,000 in funds for inventory replacement, equipment purchases, security deposits for a new lease, employee salaries, or other expenses to stabilize cash flow, and connecting affected employees to job placement services so that there is a minimal gap in employment
OEWD also works closely with other city departments to coordinate and connect recovery response between impacted businesses and city departments.
