WASHINGTON -- FEMA continues leaning forward with our federal, state, local and tribal partners to support a state managed, locally executed response to impacts from Hurricane Delta and is supporting Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and affected community leaders on necessary damage assessments and remains ready to support any additional requests for federal assistance.
FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor visited Louisiana over the weekend to meet with Gov. Edwards, state and local leaders to review the latest Hurricane Delta recovery updates and discuss FEMA’s continued support for Louisiana.
Three Urban Search and Rescue Teams and an Incident Support Team are conducting operations in Louisiana, and more than 1,500 responders are deployed in support of Hurricanes Laura and Delta.
Additional personnel from the federal government, including the Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, Health and Human Services, Department of Energy, DHS Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency and Army Corps of Engineers, have been mission assigned to provide support to impacted states and tribes, as needed.
