Mobile homes returning to Louisiana after deadly flooding

So we’re trying to make up for that.

BATON ROUGE, La. – President Barack Obama landed here Tuesday to tour flood-ravaged neighborhoods and to try to avoid the political minefields that his visit presents.

Hopkins, 69, a retiree who managed New Milford’s homeless shelter, arrived in Baton Rouge a week after a storm began dumping rain, flooding homes and killing people.

Despite bipartisan approval of the government’s management of the situation in Louisiana, the president had received criticism for choosing to finish a two-week vacation before making his visit.

He didn’t see a lot of water.

“To those so impacted I express genuine empathy, heartfelt solidarity and commitment to help as best as we can”, he said, adding his thanks “to those who have so impressively and sacrificially reached out to serve”.

“We’re talking about lives lost”.

“But what I want the people of Louisiana to know is you’re not alone, even after the TV cameras leave”.

“You’d be hard pressed to find a local official anywhere in the country, including those in the other party that wouldn’t say that [FEMA Administrator] Craig Fugate and his team haven’t been anything less that exemplary”, Obama said. I am asking you to help me raise money to donate to the Baton Rouge Area Foundations Flood Relief Fund.

“I don’t mean a few inches of water in their house”.

“It looks like a war zone in this neighborhood”, Sibley said.

However, both organizations are finding themselves in need of the community’s help and donations to help them continue to help others. Authorities believe Sterling’s death also inspired a gunman to shoot law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge weeks later, killing three of them. The interim pastor at Greenwell Springs Baptist Church, Tony Perkins, is also the president of the Family Research Council (FRC), according to an LGBT-focused online publication, similarly titled The Advocate.

Obama had been criticized for not coming to the state earlier to view the flood damage. During this time the Food Bank in Baton Rouge would normall.

“It evoked the precedent of the passive federal response to the state’s agony in 2005, a chapter of history no one should ever repeat”, the editors wrote, referring to the lackluster federal response to Hurricane Katrina.

NRB member organizations are aiding and ministering to the victims of this month’s catastrophic flooding in Louisiana, which has been declared the worst natural disaster to strike the USA since Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

Trump visited Baton Rouge on Friday, allowing him to cast the president as golfing while Louisianans suffered.

“Tuesday’s too late”, Mr Trump told Fox News this weekend.

President Obama says the damage in flood-soaked southern Louisiana is not just to people’s property – but to their roots.

One option is U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development mobile homes, which Edwards says will be “very different” than FEMA trailers used following Hurricane Katrina.
