Not just Landrieu. Check out the chain of relief from the LA State website. (Horrible w/ formatting, sorry)

As much as we try to prepare for catastrophic disasters and to reduce our risk from their devastation, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and other disasters still happen.

When they do, local and state officials are the first to respond. If the loss of life and property overwhelms this response, the federal government … including FEMA … is called upon to help.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is asking for your help to get assistance first to people with destroyed or seriously damaged homes. If you have damages that are not keeping you from returning home, please wait a few days to apply for disaster assistance. If you get a busy signal when calling FEMA, be patient. The line is operational 24/7. Try calling late in the evening or early in the morning.

If you need food, water, clothing, cleaning supplies, and/or minor medical care, please contact the American Red Cross or other volunteer organizations in your area.

Check your newspaper, radio and television news for numbers and locations of relief agencies.

If you have insurance, contact your insurance company and file a claim. Make sure to talk to your agent about your coverage. If your insurance does not cover all of your needs, such as money to pay for a place to stay while you fix your house (sometimes called additional living expense coverage), you may be eligible for money from the federal government. The federal government cannot give you money for items that insurance covers, but we may be able to help with uncompensated losses. If your insurance company is going to take a long time to settle your claim, you may also be eligible for help.

If you do not have insurance, or have emergency needs that insurance does not cover —- Call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) - TTY 1-800-462-7585 - to apply for federal disaster assistance. [blah, blah, blah]
