color=#006d7d>On the last weekend of August 2021, Hurricane
Ida made landfall</FONT></A></STRONG> in the state of
Louisiana with 150 mph winds, torrential rains, and
devastating flooding. <STRONG>Hurricane Ida was a category 4
hurricane — to put that in perspective, infamous Katrina was a
category 3.</STRONG> The images and videos coming out of the
area are heartbreakingly bleak — entire neighborhoods flooded.
Receding waters show partially or entirely demolished homes.
The <STRONG>death toll</STRONG> being reported is <STRONG>sure
to rise</STRONG> as utility outages continue and aid remains
scarce. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 2em">As of Tuesday, August 31,
<STRONG>over one million people were without electricity while
summer temperatures remain dangerously high.</STRONG> With
scorching heat and limited emergency services, disabled people
will have <STRONG>trouble keeping medical devices working and
medicines stored safely.</STRONG> Disabled and non-disabled
people alike will be in danger of heat stroke and may not have
enough food or clean water. <STRONG><A
href="https://www.care2.com/go/z/e/A8jEh/zx8n/dw_EO"><FONT
color=#006d7d>Clean water, working sewage systems, and other
basic utilities were said not to be guaranteed in these
areas.</FONT></A></STRONG> Meanwhile, those who were
thankfully able to evacuate the area before the hurricane are
now stranded, told not to return because it's not yet safe.
<STRONG>But unless they have unlimited funds and family or
friends elsewhere who can take them in, staying away is just
as difficult a proposition.</STRONG> </P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 2em">Victims and evacuees desperately
need help, and <EM>fast.</EM> <STRONG><A

allot more resources towards helping these evacuees and people
suffering in the aftermath of this natural
