Residents of East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana and West Feliciana parishes who suffered damages from Hurricane Isaac are now eligible for FEMA individual assistance, the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness announced this afternoon. Louisiana officials requested these parishes be added to the state’s declaration on Aug. 31, and their addition brings the total number of parishes declared for the FEMA individual assistance program to 21. Ascension and Livingston parishes are also on the FEMA’s list of eligible parishes. FEMA assistance is for those who sustained uninsured or underinsured Isaac-related damage to their homes, vehicles, personal property, business or its inventory beginning Aug. 26. You can apply for assistance online here, or by calling toll-free 800-621-3362. Two parishes—Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge—have yet to be approved for the individual assistance program, despite the state’s request that they be added to the list.
