## Resource

Tropical Storm Arthur unleashed catastrophic flooding on Simmesport, leaving families like the Mayeauxes with homes gutted and everything inside lost—water still everywhere, recovery a long haul. The town’s last fish market, already teetering on survival, faces even steeper losses as Councilman Alvin Dauzat warns Simmesport lacks the financial muscle to recover alone. Yet hope persists: the Salvation Army delivered supplies, and Chief Damion Jacobs cooked for neighbors while urgently demanding state leaders step in with real, immediate aid. In this vulnerable community already wrestling with economic hardship, swift, tangible government support isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
