Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Hurricane Ida caused extensive damage to the roof of United Houma Nation’s administration building in Louisiana, the tribe reported on Tuesday evening.
The roof is already being repaired, and the debris is being cleaned up, the tribe said. But the building is in need of a new air unit and large fans that can be used once power is restored.
The facility is now being used as a staging area for relief efforts in the coastal tribal communities.
