The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, along with Gov. John Bel Edwards and other state and federal officials, discussed Calcasieu Parish’s Long-Term Hurricane Recovery Framework at a Jan. 26 news conference at the Burton Complex in Lake Charles.
The Police Jury is establishing and collaboratively implementing this Recovery Framework, which is aligned with FEMA’s National Disaster Recovery Framework and provides governance, oversight, and structure to recovery operations in partnership with local, state, and federal agencies while ensuring Calcasieu Parish leads and manages its own recovery process.
At the event, leaders highlighted these efforts and planned next steps, including a multi-faceted approach to incorporate input from various sectors, identifying appropriate recovery strategies, engaging the necessary agencies and partners, and applying the necessary resources to impacted areas.
The Recovery Framework provides a comprehensive plan for Calcasieu Parish’s recovery operations in six key areas – Community Planning and Capacity Building, Economic, Health and Social Services, Housing, Infrastructure Systems, and Natural and Cultural Resources. The Police Jury will work together with local, parish, state and federal partners, as well as public agencies, non-governmental partners, and community stakeholders to lead, manage and implement the recovery process.
