This Garden Grove/County of Orange Chemical Crisis Business Resource Guide has been created to assist businesses in Garden Grove, Westminster, Cypress, Stanton, Anaheim, Buena Park and other areas of Orange County that have been impacted by the recent hazardous materials incident/chemical leak involving a storage tank at an aerospace facility in Garden Grove and the resulting evacuations, access restrictions, and operational disruptions.
The resource guide was created on May 25, 2026, and will be continually updated as more information is received. If your business has been negatively impacted by this chemical crisis, please use this guide and feel free to call us for one-on-one assistance at no cost to you.
The Orange County Inland Empire SBDC Network (OCIE SBDC), in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies, has created this page for businesses that have been disaster-impacted by the Garden Grove/County of Orange chemical emergency. The OCIE SBDC is funded by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to provide resources, consulting, and training to business owners in the region.
Our goal is to make sure that we have a comprehensive site where you can find information to support your business during this incident. We also want you to know that we have over 125 business consultants on our team, and we are here to assist you one-on-one through this process. We will be here for you in the short term as you assess your immediate needs, and we will be here for you in the long term as we help your business reopen, recover, and grow again.
