Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Congressman Steve Scalise are touring the damage left by Hurricane Francine. Landry and Scalise will meet with other local officials on Friday, Sept. 13, to discuss Hurricane Francine recovery efforts at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a statewide emergency to prepare for a likely Louisiana landfall of what will be Hurricane Francine this week. "We want the citizens of the state not to panic, but to be prepared," Landry said late Monday during a press conference with his Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security Secretary Jacques Thibodeaux.
