2016 Flood Recovery

Welcome to the 2016 Flood Recovery page. As we continue to monitor the ongoing situation, I want to make sure you have all of the latest news and information available in one place. As I keep in close contact with local officials in the Third Congressional District, I will provide helpful resources and the latest news as it becomes available. I will continue to work with the Governor’s office, the Louisiana congressional delegation, and local officials to ensure all affected parishes receive adequate federal assistance. Currently, FEMA has issued a Major Disaster Declaration for the following parishes:
