Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Sen. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.) today announced $11,688,360 in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants for Louisiana disaster aid.
The FEMA aid will fund the following:
- $8,822,061 to Jefferson Davis Electric Cooperative, Inc. for emergency protective measures as a result of Hurricane Laura.
- $2,866,299 to Terrebonne Parish for debris removal operations as a result of Hurricane Ida.
“Hurricanes Laura and Ida brought a great deal of destruction to our state and left debris in their paths. I’m thankful that this $11.7 million will help Jefferson Davis Electric and Terrebonne Parish with recovery efforts,” said Kennedy.
“Despite being hit hard by hurricanes over the past few years, Louisiana is resilient,” said Dr. Cassidy.“This funding will help our communities continue to recover and prepare for the next storm.”
