Yesterday, our U.S. Senators announced $84,832,228 in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster aid grants for Louisiana.

 

“I’m thankful that $80 million will support infrastructure repairs to power providers that Hurricane Ida badly damaged, and I’m grateful to see $4 million supporting Louisianians in East Baton Rouge, where severe flooding threatens homes and livelihoods,” said Sen. John Kennedy.


“Hurricane Ida was no match for resilient South Louisiana families,” said U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. “This funding will help our communities fully recover.”

 

The FEMA aid will fund the following:

  • $77,630,333 to the South Louisiana Electric Cooperative Association for system-wide repairs related to Hurricane Ida.
  • $4,209,395 to elevate 22 properties damaged by flooding in East Baton Rouge Parish.
  • $2,992,500 to Terrebonne Parish for damages Hurricane Ida made to the Houma Power Plant.
