We have set up bases at First Baptist Church in LaPlace and Journey Fellowship in Lacombe. Staff and volunteers are cleaning debris and muck from flooded houses, removing downed trees, and tarping damaged roofs. LaPlace is located in St. John the Baptist Parish, about 25 miles west of New Orleans. Hundreds of houses were flooded or damaged in the area. Lacombe is situated on the northeast shore of Lake Pontchartrain in St. Tammany Parish. Isaac was a Category 1 hurricane when it made landfall in southeast Louisiana with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph on Aug. 28. It dumped more than 20 inches of rain in some areas across Louisiana, Mississippi, and in parts of Arkansas, Alabama, and Florida. When the sea breached a levee outside of New Orleans, many homes flooded up to their attics. A third of Louisiana’s households were without power, and the rain continued to pummel the state days later. The storm made initial landfall one day before the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the huge storm that devastated the area in 2005. Hurricane warnings were in effect from the New Orleans metro area to the Florida Panhandle. ------------------------ VOLUNTEER IN LA TO CLEAN UP HURRICANE ISAAC DAMAGE: REGISTER ONLINE: HURRICANE ISAAC RESPONSE Project: Hurricane Isaac Response Locations: Lacombe, Louisiana and LaPlace, Louisiana Length of Stay: There is no required length of stay for this response.
