How to Help People Impacted by Hurricane Ida

When the hurricane rushed across the coastal states on Tuesday morning, many New Orleans, Mississippi, and other parts of Louisiana were deprived of power. The hurricane was regarded as a category four hurricane and had the potential to cause much damage. At least four people died, and ten people were injured in the hurricane. However, Governor John Bel Edward said that there could be more casualties, increasing the number. 

This is a troubling experience for many different individuals who were in the radius of the hurricane. The key point here is that it is, in the sense that it is still affecting people in more ways than one.

Emergency response teams have taken over to help the people devastated by nature’s disaster. Thousands of people remained in shelter, as there was already a considerable power breakdown. Almost 300,000 people were deprived of water. 

Considering the power breakdown, the officials have announced that the damage to Louisiana’s power grid can take weeks to return to normal condition after repairing the damage. Moreover, the weather service warns the public of the heat index, reaching up to 105 degrees.

So, as it stands, more people are without power and are struggling without water in various places in Louisiana.

Here is how you can donate to help individuals within the affected areas.
