hurricane laura

More than a year later, some Lake Charles residents could see repairs made to their Laura- and Delta-damaged homes as officials roll out a new $11.3 million housing program, according to an announcement Monday.

At the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Delta’s landfall in Louisiana, state and local officials have mixed feelings about a long-awaited federal disaster relief bill that covers just a fraction of the estimated damage costs of that storm and Hurricane Laura before it.

On the day before the anniversary of Hurricane Laura, and as Louisianians eye another storm forming in the Gulf, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell toured storm-ravaged southwest Louisiana Thursday with Gov. John Bel Edwards and discussed federal disaster aid with local officials.

Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter and other elected southwest Louisiana officials called on the federal government in a press conference Tuesday to send relief for the series of disasters that hit the region over the past year.
