Current Narrative:
Louisiana has developed a comprehensive and well-tested disaster response and recovery plan. Rapid Response is a critical component of the state’s disaster response and recovery plan and provides services such as:
• Filing for Disaster Unemployment Insurance.
• Recovery job placement.
• Assistance in accessing other supportive services.
Rapid Response mobile units function as offices on wheels. In the event of a disaster resulting in a job loss or other interruption in employment, the mobile units are deployed. The units run on generators and are equipped with computers and Internet access. The units can also be deployed to remote locations or to regions where offices may have been destroyed.
