NEW ORLEANS, LA — Last week, multiple tornadoes struck several locations in Southern Louisiana, with the biggest impact in New Orleans. Over the last several days, the number of affected homes has continued to climb.

“A tractor-trailer load of supplies including clean water, emergency supplies, and more is en route,” says Stacy Lamb, U.S. Response Director for Disaster Services. “We will continue to work with our partners in the area to serve residents in need in the coming days.”
