Hurricane Francine
Hurricane Francine made landfall on September 11th in New Orleans as a strong Category 2 storm, slamming through Terrebonne Parish and neighboring areas with sustained wind speeds up to 100 mph. The storm left more than 380,000 without power as severe rain and wind continued to hit the Gulf Coast, downing trees and power lines and causing extensive damage to homes.
Many of those impacted by Hurricane Francine are from marginalized groups and still recovering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Ida in 2021. CORE also responded following Ida with muck and gut support (cleaning out mud and damaged materials from impacted homes) along with resource coordination efforts to link residents with vital services.
Our Response
CORE deployed a response team to the affected parishes to support community members with gutting and tarping – a critical first step to help those reeling from Hurricane Francine begin to rebuild. We worked in close partnership with the Louisiana Just Recovery Network, Rural Roots, and SBP to tarp homes and complete critical chainsaw work in Donaldson, LA, which borders Cancer Alley. Our efforts supported underserved community members whose modular homes are particularly vulnerable to disaster and were unlikely to receive prompt relief from state or federal agencies.
