Abstract

This analysis identifies dominant local conditions after a natural disaster and the subsequent needs of small businesses in the area. We highlight the role of SBDCs as supporting the recovery of communities by helping local businesses. The analysis also advances that local SBDCs need to be helped before they are able to help their constituencies.
