Road to Recovery
Ahead of Hurricane Francine making landfall, a federal emergency declaration was granted at the request of Governor Landry and at my urging alongside our whole Congressional delegation. Hurricane Francine made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane in Terrebonne Parish, other parishes including Jefferson, Orleans, Lafourche, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Tangipahoa, and Plaquemines are facing impacts of street and localized flooding.
