BATON ROUGE (AP) — A three-day era of comments opens Tuesday for a proposed organization hosting Hurricane Ida survivors at a parish in southeastern Louisiana, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Monday.
Up to 75 families can be housed in the saint-charles parish network of Killona, the firm said in a press release. According to FEMA, the parish wants 79 sets for citizens whose homes have been destroyed or are still uninhabitable due to damage caused by the hurricane that made landfall on Aug. 29, 2021.
The comments would be based on a draft environmental assessment. Instructions for obtaining this document and posting comments can be found on the agency’s website. FEMA says it’s a brief comment period due to a housing emergency among hurricane survivors.
The progression of the proposed 13 acres (5. 25 hectares) would require cleaning, leveling, road construction, concrete slabs, utilities and the installation of portable transitional housing units.
The company notes that those sites of the organization are regularly occupied by families who lived in the domain before the hurricane. This means that they do not increase the demand for local facilities such as schools, police and fire protection.
Once the direct housing program is complete, FEMA will eliminate all housing complexes and infrastructure, bringing assets as close as possible to their original state.
The era of public comment begins at 8 a. m. m. of Tuesday and ends at 5 p. m. on Thursday. If no substantive comments are received, the conclusion that it does not have a significant effect will be final.
