Louisiana Flood Victims See Less Public Support Compared to Sandy, Katrina

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Despite historic flooding across the southeast region of Louisiana, relief volunteers and organizations still say that donations have not matched the needs of those affected.

Sherry Buresh, the director of the U.S. Disaster Response for All Hands Volunteers out of Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, said her team could certainly use more volunteers in helping to rebuild the area.

 

“The more volunteers that come in, the quicker we can get people taken care of,” Buresh told USA Today.

 

Buresh is pleading for not only more volunteers, but for Americans to donate to disaster relief efforts for the state, a gesture that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump gave national attention to when he was taped unloading supplies he donated to flood victims in the region.

 

Brad Kieserman, the vice president of Disaster Operations and Logistics for the American Red Cross told USA Today that the flooding crisis is the largest natural disaster since Superstorm Sandy.

 

“It does take the whole community to recover from a disaster like this,’’ said Kieserman.
