Hurricane Delta

New research suggests that back-to-back hurricanes could become more common for Louisiana and the rest of the Gulf Coast over the next several years.

Three potential trouble spots are being monitored for further development this morning.

Louisiana needs help and the federal government has been slow to open the purse strings. Governor Edwards is in the nation's capital today to see about securing more federal aid.

If you need help or assistance pertaining to rebuilding or repairing your home, the Recovery Service Center will be open tomorrow.

The federal government has declared five more parishes in Louisiana eligible for disaster aid as a result of Hurricane Delta. Those parishes are Beauregard, Lafayette, Rapides, St. Landry and St. Martin.

It's only been two weeks since Hurricane Delta came rumbling through southwest Louisiana and many of you are still looking for ways to make necessary repairs to your home and property.

The U.S. Small Business Association announced that they have opened up virtual recovery centers to help guide SWLA residents affected by Hurricane Delta through the loan application process.

Air Force aircraft will begin spraying for mosquitoes across South Louisiana beginning today.

Hurricane Delta has now been categorized as a major disaster by the federal government, which opens up financial aid, including DSNAP, to SWLA residents.

President Donald Trump has declared a major disaster exists in the State of Louisiana, opening up for federal funding to be made available for portions of the state hit the hardest by Hurricane Delta.

The wheels are now in motion that could start the flow of federal money and assistance into areas affected by Hurricane Delta.

Until the declaration is made millions of dollars in federal aid are simply standing at the ready and not available for use.
