Hurricane Ida Update + Resources
To Our Members —
As many of us have experienced damage and loss to your personal and business properties, please know that SCIA stands with you — in assistance and prayer.
Our people and our communities are resilient and always recover and rebuild quicker than expected. It’s that will, ingenuity, and culture that makes south Lousiana so special and the reason so many of us choose to call this home.
In the coming weeks and months, we will update you all on upcoming events and resource. If in the time before that you are in need of any assistance or resource, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Additonally, our office suffered severe damage and we will not be able to occupy it again for quite some time. We are working remotely, but can still receive your phone and email messages.
We look forward to rebuilding our community alongside you and being a valuable resource along the way.
