Monday voluntary open

Hi all. I am posting this from the Recovery Center. Power and internet has been restored. If any staff wish to come in one Monday to work we will open the center at 9 am. The center looks good and we received kudos from Tulane on our storm prep.

Disaster Assistance

All employees should look at the options FEMA is providing for disaster assistance. Links and phone numbers for disaster and unemployment assistance:

Individual disaster assistance: disasterassistance.gov or 1-800-621-FEMA

Louisiana Workforce Commission: www.laworks.net or 1-866-783-5567 (This is a federal program administered by LWC, you will need to file for FEMA's individual disaster assistance)

No Food Stamp program currently is in place for Isaac victims.  However, low to moderate income residents may apply now in case a program becomes available.  (www.dss.state.la.us/ or 1-888-524-3578).
