Councilmember Palmer and Partners to Provide Emergency Food, Water, and Tarp Distribution Today in Algiers |
|
NEW ORLEANS - District "C" Councilmember Kristin Gisleson Palmer has partnered with NOLA Ready, Second Harvest Food Bank, World Central Kitchen, and Culture Aid NOLA to distribute food and water for residents impacted by Hurricane Ida. The emergency distribution site will provide meals, water, tarps, and electrical charging stations at Arthur Monday Center, 1111 Newton Street from 1 PM to 5 PM on Tuesday, August 31. No documentation is required to receive supplies or to utilize the charging stations.
Hurricane Ida left the entire city without power. While many essential businesses remain closed, Councilmember Palmer hopes the distribution site will provide some relief to families and individuals who are reeling from the impacts of the storm. In order to operate the site, volunteers are needed to assist with setup and distribution. If you would like to volunteer, call Zach Monroe at (504) 508-0783.
WHAT: Hurricane Ida Emergency Distribution Site
WHEN: Tuesday, August 31, 1 PM to 5 PM WHERE: Arthur Monday Center, 1111 Newton St., New Orleans, LA 70114

CM Palmer talked with Entergy at 11am and will again at
2:30pm. Entergy is assessing what it will take to get the 8 transmission lines
back up as well as the distribution stations (I think that’s right). We should know
more by tomorrow.
- Power restoration first priorities are hospitals, central services, grocery
stores, etc. Hope to have a timeline soon.
In Algiers, S&WB pump 11 is up and pump 13 is down.
- There is still some flooding on MacArthur, DeGaulle, in Park Timbers and Tall
Timbers. Water should not get any higher. After they get the generators up, it
may take 1 – 2 hours to start to see changes in water level.
- The communications are down there, but
S&WB will send an official update as soon as possible.
No rain is predicted for now, and when it does rain later in
the week, it should be no more than 1 – 2 inches.
If you’re away, stay where you are. If you are there, stay
in or check catch basins for blockage. NOPD and the National Guard are doing
drive arounds.
- I-10 W is either closed or experiencing problems, so it’s not recommended
that you use that now.
Charging Stations – Each Firehouse has generators and you
can go there for charging. Right now there is flooding near the Firehouse on
Gen. DeGaulle, so the ones on Woodland and on Gen. Meyer might be better bets
for now.
- It is also requested that neighbors let us know if you can serve as a
neighborhood charging station. Kelsey Foster with AEDF has also created a link, https://forms.gle/hoZybKpcSD7poWD7A , to collect that information. She will post the results on AEDF social media and
I’ll post on Nextdoor and the Algiers Neighborhood Presidents Council website.
- You can see the results mapped out at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1MXqXfrnFJ8wb0lE8iNfGv16YuxbKt3s_&usp=sharing
Food and water distribution in conjunction with Second Harvest
may be available Monday or Tuesday.
Oxygen exchange is available at the Gen. DeGaulle Firehouse,
but may be moved due to the flooding.
CM Palmer’s work phone and personal cell are out, however
Mary Ochletree and Zack Monroe in her office are able to receive emails. You can
try 504-410-4422 (texts may be delayed) and Mary 504-295-6912.
Trash pickup will probably not take place this week because
there is no power at the landfills.
Some blue tarps may be available later this week at the
Arthur Monday Center. They don’t know about FEMA yet.

Our crews have been out since first light assessing damage where it's safe to do so to get a better idea of what we're dealing with not that Hurricane Ida has passed through the area. Today will be a big day for understanding the situation and begin providing restoration estimates. We appreciate your patience and will provide updates throughout the day. |
