Early this morning, Convoy of Hope’s Disaster Services team began driving into the disaster zone created by Hurricane Ida.
Ida lost momentum as it moved inland and is now a tropical storm. Nonetheless, while brandishing hurricane strength, Ida managed to knock out power for more than 1 million residents of Louisiana — including the entire city of New Orleans. It tore apart buildings, overtopped levees, and flooded communities across Louisiana’s coast.
The 19-vehicle fleet Convoy of Hope deployed for this response will continue toward the disaster zone, bringing much-needed relief to the affected areas. Three additional tractor-trailers are en route to assist in the team’s response.
