Are Insurance proceeds taxable for loss of income due to Federal Disaster?

STORES CLOSED FOR 10 DAYS.  Insurance paid $17,000 for "Loss of Business".  This was in a Federally Declared Disaster Area.

I believe the funds are taxable as it was not for a capital loss. The policy should be carefully read to be sure. I would also call the insurance company to verify.
