MARIA log January 23 Day 124 Tuesday

Tuesday, January 23 day 124

Hot on the heals of our FEMA rejection, we went to fill out forms for Small business Administration loans, one for the house, one for the business. Don't know if anything will come of it but it's worth investing a few hours of time.

We din not even know about the SBA loans until Elaine spent the time in Ohio contacting FEMA. Information is still sketchy, limited, incomplete, or simply not available. And mush of the information that is available is just plain wrong. With so much of the island still without power and Internet, the main sources of information are still the coconut telegraph and the gas station. Not much has been done to improve the dissemination of information. FEMA, et al are still relying on the modern, still not-functioning methods of communication.

Rain in the early pre-dawn this morning. Grateful.
