Trump Approves Disaster Aid for Louisiana | Baton Rouge News

President Trump clears the way for major federal disaster aid across Louisiana after Tropical Storm Arthur, with Governor Jeff Landry and Congresswoman Julia Letlow confirming the move. Avoyelles, Pointe Coupee, and St. Landry Parishes are now officially eligible, while St. Charles and Winn Parishes join for public assistance support — unlocking critical FEMA funding to rebuild infrastructure, restore essential services, and speed recovery for impacted communities. This federal backing activates FEMA’s Public Assistance program, designed to reimburse local governments and qualifying nonprofits for storm-related response and recovery costs — a vital lifeline to help Louisiana bounce back stronger.
