Late yesterday Gov. John Bel Edwards traveled to areas impacted by Tuesday’s severe weather following a Unified Command Group meeting with the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP).
As the initial steps in recovery begin, GOHSEP encourages anyone who received damage from the storms to report their information at damage.la.gov. This self-reporting damage survey will help the state and local officials identify damage impacts in each region.
Reporting damage to GOHSEP is extremely important, but voluntary. It does not replace filing a claim with your insurance agency. This is the first step in the recovery process and does not guarantee disaster relief assistance.
