Yesterday Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. toured hurricane damage in St. Tammany and Livingston Parishes.
He also met with local officials to determine their needs in the aftermath of Ida, the fifth-most powerful storm ever to hit the United States.
This follows Cassidy’s renewed demand for Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) supplemental assistance for damages sustained from Hurricanes Laura and Delta last year, as well as for Hurricane Ida. Dr. Cassidy said recovery begins with supplemental disaster aid.
