April 2011 - Highway 1 Slide
May 26, 2011 - Due to the long term closure of Highway 1 north of the San Luis Obispo County line due to the large slide, many businesses dependant on coastal tourism have and are suffering a signficant loss of business. As a result, information is needed from any and all affected businesses in order for the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) to determine if there are enough losses to warrant a request to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to make low interest and/or other disaster loan programs available for economic and perhaps other losses.
As a result, businesses who have been economically affected by the landslide and closure of Hwy 1 since or about April 14, 2011 are requested to fill out and return an Economic Injury form to help us toward the goal of obtaining disaster recovery assistance. Cal EMA is requesting the forms be completed and submitted to their office no later than June 30, 2011.
Submit the forms via fax to Cal EMA, Indivdual Assistance Section, Attention Mary Ann Johnson at the fax number of (916) 845-8395.
Completed forms can also be emailed to maryann.johnson@calema.ca.gov
For questions regarding completing the form, the SBA's Customer Service Center can be called toll free at (800) 659-2955.
