The hurricane hit Louisiana over a decade after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hurricane Ida destroyed homes and businesses, forcing hundreds of thousands of people in high-water zones to evacuate. The death count from Hurricane Ida has increased weekly, surpassing more than 90 deaths in the U.S. According to PowerOutage.US, more than 1 million customers were without power in Louisiana and Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>$5 million in federal relief funds has already been awarded to Louisiana to help the state recover from the damage. The funding is from the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is specifically for repairs to roads and bridges damaged by Hurricane Ida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>And this isn&#8217;t the only natural disaster that has occurred. California has been battling wildfires all year and many other states have been affected by tornados, earthquakes, or other hurricanes. These natural disasters can cause severe damages for families, individuals, and businesses. Funding is important, because it provides crucial services such as shelter, food, and other necessities.
