Disaster relief loans are low interest, long term loans designed to help rebuild homes and businesses after a disaster. These are loans set up by the federal government in the event of a devastating act of nature whether it is a tornado, hurricane, wildfire, etc. It is a requirement that if your home or business is located within an area that has been declared an official disaster area, you must first register with FEMA to be able to apply for one of many relief loans available to you . You may also be eligible to receive tax deductions for the loss you suffered in said disaster. As with any loans, you should always compare it before taking it out.

There are two main types of loans, physical disaster assistance loans, these provide assistance to businesses not covered by insurance, who have suffered damage to property. Economic injury disaster loans, provide capitol to small businesses and small agricultural cooperatives to assist them from economic injury caused directly by disaster. Farm recovery loans help farmers who have lost crops or property due to drought, floods, or other major disasters.
