    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced a major disaster declaration for the State of Louisiana due to damage caused by Hurricane Zeta from October 26 to October 29, 2020. This declaration authorizes federal funding for various assistance programs, including Individual Assistance, debris removal, and emergency protective measures, in several Louisiana parishes.
