The U.S. Department of Labor announced Tuesday it has released an additional $8.5 million in emergency funding to continue cleanup and recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, which struck Puerto Rico in August 2011.
With just a week to go before the Oct. 26 deadline to submit disaster loan applications, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced Wednesday that so far it has approved $2 million in assistance for damages sustained by local businesses and residents in the wake of Hurricane Irene earlier this year.
The U.S. Small Business Administration this week reminded eligible private nonprofit organizations of the Oct. 26 deadline to submit disaster loan applications for damages caused by Hurricane Irene on Aug. 21-24, 2011. The agency also added Loíza, Peñuelas and San Juan to the eligibility list.
