Louisiana homeowners and renters that were affected by Hurricane Ida and live in parishes designated for Individual Assistance could be eligible for help from FEMA.
This announcement follows Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory and the Lafayette City Council's actions that will allow the city to dredge parts of the Vermilion River that flow inside Lafayette city limits, pay for two flusher trucks to help ease spot flooding in neighborhoods, and continue focusing on other drainage improvement projects, such as flushing culverts, ditch digging, and retention ponds.
