After a catastrophic event, recovery comes in waves. First, comes the immediate needs, like food, water, and shelter. But once power has been restored, debris has been removed, and the community at large has slowly started the return to “normal,” there is still much to be done.
In fact, for survivors whose homes have been destroyed, the journey to a new normal has just begun. Even when they manage to find new lodging, they must slowly begin to replace everything else they’ve lost. To address these issues, The Salvation Army partners with government agencies and other non-profits to pool resources and fund long-term recovery projects as a group.
In Louisiana, this process is ongoing for many residents affected by Hurricane Ida in August of 2021. After months of initial response, The Salvation Army has continued to serve affected populations with over $800,000 paid out to survivors and overall, three million dollars have been allocated to Hurricane Ida long-term recovery.
