The Event:

Nine parishes were granted public assistance for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities (Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Natchitoches, Red River, Sabine, St. Charles, and Vernon).
The Impact:
An estimated 312 residences were affected, with 67 either destroyed or with major damage. 75% of residences affected were low-income households. The estimate for total Individual Assistance cost was $2,794,004. The estimate for total Public Assistance cost was $8,301,657.
