Assistance for those affected by Hurricane IDA

Our district has been damaged over the past two weeks by multiple storms. The infrastructure we have was not able to sustain the immense rainfall we received; and many of our neighbor’s homes were decimate. My office will periodically send updates when new information is available to be sure you are as up to date as possible with all the pertinent information to help financially recover from the devastation from this storm.
