FEMA Awards Funding to Texas for Repairs to Burnet Middle School 

Release Date: July 16, 2012
Release Number: R6-12-120

» 2012 Region VI News Releases

DENTON, Texas — More than $159,000 has been awarded to the state of Texas by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for repairs to the Galveston Independent School District’s (ISD) Burnet Middle School in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. To date, FEMA has obligated more than $3.8 million in total for work on the school.

High winds, wind-driven rain, storm surge and overland flooding damaged the school, including components of the school’s electrical system. The funding from this latest award covers repairs to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, restoration of the hot water supply and lighting capabilities.

“Schools are an essential part of any community,” said FEMA Region 6 Acting Administrator Tony Robinson. “We are proud to support our state and local partners as they rebuild and repair Burnet Middle School and continue to recover from this devastating storm.”

FEMA’s contribution, made possible by a Public Assistance grant, represents a 90 percent federal cost share. FEMA awards funding for projects directly to the state of Texas; the state then forwards the grant to the eligible applicant.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Slidell Catholic School Receives Additional Support From FEMA 

Release Date: May 31, 2012
Release Number: 1603 – 976

» More Information on Louisiana Hurricane Katrina

NEW ORLEANS – As the construction of Our Lady of Lourdes School’s new cafeteria nears completion, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced today $984,241 in additional funding to the Archdiocese of New Orleans for the Katrina-related recovery project.

This new funding brings the federal agency’s total monetary support for the cafeteria’s construction to nearly $3.5 million. More than $23.2 million has gone toward the recovery efforts at Our Lady of Lourdes School—a prekindergarten through eighth grade Catholic School located in Slidell, LA.

“We greatly appreciated FEMA’s ongoing work with us that make capital projects such as the Our Lady of Lourdes cafeteria, and entire campus, possible post-Katrina. This allows us to continue our mission to educate children of the community, and as we are very aware of in our area, education is a key element in the fight against poverty and violence,” said Archbishop Gregory Aymond.

Like many schools owned and operated by the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Our Lady of Lourdes campus incurred significant damages during Hurricane Katrina. The cafeteria, which provided meals to students and also served as a general assembly center at the school, qualified for FEMA assistance after floodwaters rendered the facility completely inoperable and in need of complete reconstruction.

“Meal services for students are currently provided out of temporary facilities at Our Lady of Lourdes’ campus,” said FEMA’s Louisiana Recovery Office Deputy Director of Programs Andre Cadogan. “Our recent funding, along with previously provided grants, ensures that a more permanent cafeteria will once again serve students in the near future.”

Construction of Our Lady of Lourdes’ post-Katrina cafeteria is expected to be completed during the 2012-2013 school year.

In addition to FEMA’s recent aid, on an even larger scale, FEMA has supported Our Lady of Lourdes School’s overall recovery, including funding the replacements of a majority of the school’s classrooms and administration offices.

To date, FEMA has obligated approximately $323.5 million in public assistance funding to the Archdiocese of New Orleans for Katrina-related recovery efforts across Archdiocesan-owned schools in Orleans, St. Tammany, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes.

When FEMA approves projects through its supplemental Public Assistance grant, the funds are made available to the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness, who disburses them to the applicant for eligible work completed.

The Public Assistance program works with state and local officials to fund recovery measures and the rebuilding of government and certain private nonprofit organizations’ buildings, as well as roads, bridges and water and sewer plants. In order for the process to be successful, federal, state and local partners coordinate to draw up project plans, fund these projects and oversee their completion.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

St. Bernard’s Historic Courthouse Restored With FEMA Funding 

Release Date: April 17, 2012
Release Number: 1603-973

» More Information on Louisiana Hurricane Katrina

NEW ORLEANS – As repairs to St. Bernard Parish’s early 20th century courthouse near completion, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced today $638,677 in additional funding for the Katrina-related restoration work.

This new funding brings the agency’s total monetary support to more than $7.5 million for the noteworthy project.

The historic courthouse, known as “St. Bernard’s Old Courthouse,” dates back to 1915 and served as the parish’s first courthouse until 1939. More recently, prior to Hurricane Katrina, St. Bernard Parish leased the courthouse facility to the local public school board for use as Beauregard Middle School. For this reason, the facility is also commonly referred to as the “Old Beauregard Middle School.”

Located on Bayou Road and Beauregard Lane in St. Bernard, the courthouse was flooded by an estimated 8 feet of water during Katrina, causing extensive damages to the historic facility. Nearly seven years later, it is now returning to the community after undergoing successful recovery measures.

“This landmark project, involving one of the parish’s most important historic buildings, is the result of the successful collaboration between the parish government, the state and FEMA’s public assistance and historic preservation groups,” said FEMA’s Louisiana Recovery Office Deputy Director of Programs Andre Cadogan.
“In the end, the courthouse’s original and historic features will be repaired while returning the building’s functional, pre-Katrina use as an educational facility.”

“Since taking office on January 10, 2012, we have witnessed the exceptional, cooperative relationship fostered between FEMA and St. Bernard Parish. The Old Historic Courthouse is a perfect example of this relationship,” said St. Bernard Parish President David Peralta. “As this refurbished courthouse nears substantial completion, I would like to thank our local FEMA team for an outstanding job regarding their efforts to preserve this historic landmark, which allows the beautiful Old Beauregard Courthouse to return to its days of glory. This is FEMA at its finest.”

As with all federally funded recovery projects, FEMA ensures that efforts comply with federal environmental and historic preservation laws and Executive Orders.

“FEMA’s recovery grants not only enable new life for damaged facilities, but when applicable, also preserve history—as is the case with this project,” said Cadogan.

FEMA-funded work on the storm-damaged courthouse’s historical features includes the masonry walls; ornamental-stamped, copper cornice; and refurbishment of its original wood windows, wood floors and interior plasterwork.

To date, including this recent grant, FEMA has provided approximately $1.7 billion in public assistance funding for recovery work related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita throughout St. Bernard Parish.

When FEMA approves projects through its supplemental Public Assistance grant, the funds are made available to the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness, who disburses them to the applicant for eligible work completed.

The Public Assistance program works with state and local officials to fund recovery measures and the rebuilding of government and certain private nonprofit organizations’ buildings, as well as roads, bridges and water and sewer plants. In order for the process to be successful, federal, state and local partners coordinate to draw up project plans, fund these projects and oversee their completion.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
