WASHINGTON — FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor completed a two-day
visit to Louisiana today – his fourth since hurricanes Laura, Sally,
Delta and Zeta devastated the state, as federal workers are on the
ground, working around the clock making roads accessible and providing
emergency power.

Administrator Gaynor, along with FEMA Region 6 Regional Administrator
Tony Robinson, met with state and local officials, including Gov. John
Bel Edwards and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, to help address the
area’s needs.

Additionally, President Trump amended the Major Disaster Declaration
for Louisiana as a result of Hurricane Laura. The amendment allows for
100% federal cost share for 30 days for both debris removal and
emergency protective measures.
