Recent heavy rains have caused widespread flooding in areas of Cleco’s service territory. Cleco reminds all customers that flooded homes can present a potential danger and caution is warranted.
United Ways across Acadiana are accepting donations and volunteers to assist those impacted by flooding in the region.
A flood-damaged home requires special attention to avoid further damage and health hazards from molds, other fungi, algae and bacteria.
On Sunday, the St. Landry-Evangeline United Way has listed needs for the Opelousas Civic Center shelter.
Needs are:
Cots or air mattresses (with pump)
Bedding
Pillows
Towels/wash cloths
Toiletries (soap, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc)
