Landrieu Lauds Senate Passage of Child Care Bill that Will Help Working Families
“We vividly remember when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita displaced more than 160,000 children in Louisiana and Mississippi with no mandated emergency preparedness for child care in place.

In the toughest of times, this solution will bring families a little peace of mind to know their children are safe and cared for,” Sen. Landrieu said. “Today, we ensured that our children will be properly cared for during a disaster. Kids can’t take care of themselves and when disasters strike, we must have plans in place to keep them safe."
