Hurricane Katrina, and Rita 2005Small Businesses • Small businesses are a major part of any economy, accounting in the U.S. for approximately 75 percent of all net new jobs. • Small businesses are also the most vulnerable to a disaster. • In fact, Hurricane Katrina touched more than 80,000 small businesses across the Gulf Coast region in 2005. • Some experts believe that 60 percent of those businesses are not coming back. • Small businesses in the upper Texas Gulf Coast region were also hit very hard by Ike. • There is a great need for financial assistance for these businesses. • Experts generally agree that without financing and assistance, these businesses may not return, which could cause great economic upheaval since many of the communities affected by the storm rely on small businesses for much of their revenue. • Of particular concern is that many small businesses sustained more than 50 percent damage, and may be required to rebuild elevated structures or pay increased rent to cover the costs incurred by the property owner to rebuild in compliance with current codes. • Such endeavors are extremely costly and may be out of reach for small businesses that have already lost significant revenue from downtime and lost inventory.

Hurricane IKE 2008 • Small locally owned businesses were hit particularly hard by Ike. • The majority of experts interviewed by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) stated that there is a great need for financing to get these businesses back up and running. • There were concerns that if immediate steps are not taken to provide assistance to these businesses, they may never come back. • This could cause great economic upheaval because many of the affected communities rely on small businesses for much of their revenue and the businesses are essential to their local economies. 2005 2008 34 Counties 22 Counties 3 Years Later The map above indicates the counties of Texas that suffered the effects of two major hurricanes within three years. The counties marked in red experienced actual physical damage from the storms. Those in orange did not, but because of the interdependence of the economy, they still deal with significant indirect economic effects from the disruption in neighboring counties.

Questions "The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." ...Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
