Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana has announced the allocation of $5,186,169 in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants aimed at supporting disaster recovery efforts in the state. The funds are intended to assist communities still dealing with the aftermath of severe weather events.
"Our communities are still recovering from harsh weather events. This $5.2 million will help New Orleans cover Hurricane Ida costs as well as support Plaquemines Parish’s seawater intrusion treatment efforts," said Kennedy.
The FEMA aid is distributed between two key projects: $3,195,167 is allocated to Plaquemines Parish for emergency protective measures at the Belle Chasse Water Treatment Plant due to seawater intrusion. Additionally, $1,991,002 is designated for the Roman Catholic Church Archdiocese of New Orleans to address emergency protective measures following Hurricane Ida.
