Advocating for Long-Term Reforms to NFIP
Yesterday, I led a roundtable discussion with local leaders from across South Louisiana to discuss the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), as well as concerns regarding FEMA's Risk Rating 2.0 and its impact on policyholders. We talked about the need for FEMA to delay Risk Rating 2.0 implementation and necessary NFIP reforms to prevent Louisiana families from having their flood insurance rates skyrocket under the new premium rating structure. I will continue fighting to ensure NFIP remains affordable and stable for the future.
Meeting with Local Officials on Hurricane Ida Recovery
This week, I met with local officials in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes as they continue to recover in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. We discussed relief efforts and the ongoing response to address the needs of Bayou residents.
In Terrebonne Parish, I visited with Parish President Gordy Dove, State Senator Mike Fesi, Parish Council members Dirk Guidry and Danny Babin, and Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District Executive Director Reggie Dupre at the Little Caillou Fire Department in Chauvin.
I discussed recovery efforts with Lafourche Parish President Archie Chaisson, State Senator Mike Fesi, State Representatives Bryan Fontenot and Beryl Amedee, Sheriff Craig Webre, North Lafourche Levee District Executive Director Dwayne Bourgeois, and Lafourche Parish Emergency Preparedness Director Chris Boudreaux at the Lafourche Parish Government Building.
Later, I met up with Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle and Jefferson Parish Councilman Ricky Templet to talk about the island's recovery progress, including addressing the water and power supply for residents.
