Hurricane Ida’s lashing winds toppled buildings, cut power to hospitals and caused widespread flooding across the Northshore.

The disaster has just begun to unfold. With gusts of more than 170 miles per hour, Ida took out main electrical lines; New Orleans and other cities across South Louisiana are likely to be in the dark for weeks.

Relief organizations in Louisiana are pretty good at taking care of our people. Once in a while, though, storms like Hurricane Ida give stretch their resources.

Your one contribution to the Northshore Emergency Relief Fund will help many organizations provide water and food, medicines and shelter to people across South Louisiana.

Thank you for your gift.
