NEW ORLEANS - Today, District "D" Councilmember Jared C. Brossett brought ordinances 33,331 and 33,332 for a vote at the Council’s emergency meeting to discuss Hurricane Ida recovery. The measures to fund disaster relief that will be reimbursed by FEMA were passed unanimously.

“Today, we took a big leap in our recovery efforts," Councilmember Brossett said. "The Council unanimously passed funding specifically earmarked for disaster recovery. We have a long road ahead, but now we have a path forward. Hurricane Ida devastated our power grid, destroyed some of our most precious landmarks, and scattered debris around our city, but a hurricane cannot change who we are. It’s time to rebuild. I know that we will continue to care for each other until we are all back on our feet.”
