The SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to businesses and people affected by disasters.

Small business disaster loan program is out of money until Congress approves new fundsSo far, the SBA has received around 37,000 applications for relief from those impacted by Hurricane Helene and made more than 700 loan offers totaling about $48 million.
