BATON ROUGE, La. — Renters and homeowners in parishes designated for FEMA assistance after Hurricane Laura have until Oct. 27 to register for help.
Federal assistance includes help for temporary housing, rental assistance and repair or replacement of damaged property.

BATON ROUGE, La.–The public’s overwhelming generosity after Hurricane Laura is helping affected communities to start healing from the disaster.
However, an overflow of donated items can quickly exceed the needs of the affected communities. Supporting agencies may then need to redirect manpower to managing donated goods that may not meet survivors’ needs.
BATON ROUGE, La. –A Drive-thru Disaster Recovery Center will open in Grant Parish Monday, Sept. 28, to help Hurricane Laura survivors.
The drive-thru is staffed with FEMA personnel who are available to scan documents, assist with registration and answer questions about disaster-assistance programs.
