What does this do?

Who does it affect?
Disaster survivors, small business owners, and community members who rely on SBA disaster loans; SBA field offices and Congress, which must be notified within 30 days of new or changed procedures.
Why does it matter?
Inconsistent press releases and fact sheets across SBA disaster field offices can create confusion for people seeking disaster assistance.
