the following proclamation be
duly declared and adopted;
Proclamation
National Family Caregiver
Month – November 2021
WHEREAS, each day in homes
throughout our Nation, Americans
with chronic or terminal illnesses,
functional impairment, or disabilities
receive compassionate care
and support from family members
and loved ones. During National
Family Caregivers Month, we
salute the more than 40 million
people in the United States who
serve as unpaid caregivers. With
generous hearts and faithful devotion,
they honor the sanctity of life
and affirm the inherent value of
all human beings.
WHEREAS, caregivers work
long days and spend countless
hours to meet and anticipate the
needs of their loved ones, often facing
challenges that can seem
impossible to navigate. Errands,
medical appointments, transportation,
meal preparation, grooming,
and companionship can consume
significant time and effort, especially
when caregivers must balance
these duties with the pressures
and responsibilities of their
own lives, including employment
and raising children. In spite of all
of this, these extraordinary moms
and dads, sons and daughters, siblings,
and friends showcase compassion
and selflessness for the
ones they love. Their faithfulness
and dedication is indicative of the
generosity of the American Spirit
and reflects the very best of our
Nation.
WHEREAS, because of the
essential role they play in ensuring
the health and wellbeing of
those most in need, family caregivers
deserve our unending support.
In 2018, two pieces of legislation,
the RAISE Family Caregivers
Act and the Supporting
Grandparents Raising
Grandchildren Act, which provide
for the development of strategies
and support networks for family
caregivers were signed into law.
Over the last year, the Advisory
Councils created by these acts
have made significant progress
toward raising awareness and giving
a voice to family caregivers.
The work of these Councils, led by
the Administration for
Community Living at the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), will yield a
National Caregiving Strategy in
2021 that will include recommended
actions that States, uncertainty
of caregiving, the department of
Veterans Affairs established the
first National Center of Excellence
for veteran and caregiver
research. The advances made
through this initiative, coupled
with the resources and capabilities
made available through the VA
Mission Act, which was signed into
law in 2018, are helping to educate
and equip families with the tools
they need to provide even better
care for our Nation’s veterans.
America’s heroes have earned and
deserve our respect and gratitude,
and their caregivers deserve the
same.
WHEREAS, family caregivers
provide a vital lifeline of connection
and hope to loved ones during
challenging and uncertain days.
These caregivers, who devote
immeasurable time, energy,
resources, and heart, need our
understanding, support, gratitude,
and encouragement. Throughout
this month, let us remember these
men and women who spend their
days caring for others, and let us
pray that they are sustained by
grace and strength as they carry
on this important work.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, SCOTT
TRAHAN, President of the
Cameron Parish Police Jury, by
virtue of the authority vested in
me by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim November 2021 as
National Family Caregivers
Month. I encourage all Americans
to reach out to those who provide
care for their family members,
friends, and neighbors in need, to
honor and thank them.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I
have hereunto set my hand this
twelfth day of November, in the
year of our Lord two thousand
twenty-one, and affixed the seal of
the Cameron Parish Police Jury,

RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION NO. 1147
STATE OF LOUISIANA
PARISH OF CAMERON
WHEREAS, Cameron Parish
and Southwest Louisiana were
severely impacted by Hurricane
Laura, which made landfall near
Cameron, LA., at 1 a.m., on August
27, 2020, as a strong Category 4
Hurricane, causing extensive and
widespread destruction to residential,
commercial and public assets
of the parish.
WHEREAS, a mere six weeks
later on October 9, 2020,
Hurricane Delta made landfall in
Creole, LA., which is 15 miles east
of Cameron, LA., at roughly 6 p.m.
An already distressed Cameron
Parish and Southwest Louisiana
was again devasted by heavy
winds and rainfall;
WHEREAS, these two hurricanes
caused extensive personal,
emotional, and financial impacts
across the region to the citizens
that call Southwest Louisiana
home, severely affecting thousands
of homes, business, our
workforce, both public private
infrastructure systems, the
region’s agricultural assets, and
the area’s numerous natural and
cultural resources;
WHEREAS, at the time when
both storms struck the region,
Southwest Louisiana, and its citizens
much like the rest of our
nation and world – were already
responding to the global COVID-
19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, these unprecedented
and unique circumstances of
two severe hurricane events just
six weeks apart, on top of an
already devasting global pandemic,
were followed by a winter storm
and a spring flooding event,
requiring federal support for
Southwest Louisiana;
WHEREAS, in spite of all of
these compounded challenges, the
people of Cameron Parish and
Southwest Louisiana rose to meet
every adversity, preparing themselves
and their families for all of
the natural disasters and the pandemic,
quickly assessing damages
following their impacts, lending
helping hands to friends, families,
neighbors, and strangers during
this time of need, and focusing on
the immediate aftermath of the
storms on the rebuilding task at
hand for our community;
WHEREAS, The Honorable
John Bel Edwards, Governor of the
State of Louisiana, has communicated
the unmet needs of Cameron
Parish, Southwest Louisiana, and
Louisiana to both the previous
Presidential Administration, as
well as the current Presidential
Administration, respectfully
requesting support for a disaster
appropriations package to address
the overwhelming recovery needs
faced by so many thousands of citizens
and families in Southwest
Louisiana and across our state;
WHEREAS, the request from
Governor Edwards to President
Joseph Biden took into account the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Individual
Assistance and Public Assistance
being made available to our community
following the devasting
storms, and showed that, while
critical and very much appreciated,
this assistance will simply not
be sufficient to allow the citizens
of Cameron Parish and Southwest
Louisiana to rebuild their homes
and communities, nor will our
local governments be able to sufficiently
rebuild and harden damaged
infrastructure in order to
protect our community from
future storms and natural disasters;
WHEREAS, the request from
Governor Edwards for a supplemental
appropriation from
Congress to aid our region and
state was for $3 Billion in
Community Development Block
Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBGDR)
funds to address the unmet
needs of our communities, and was
based on data available following
the storms;
WHEREAS, in addition to the
CDBG-DR funds, Governor
Edwards also requested that a disaster
supplemental appropriation
from Congress also consider
Social Services Block Grant
funding, Emergency Solutions
Grant Program funding, FEMA
Cost Share Reduction (granted
through FEMA), U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers funding, and Natural
Resource Conservation Service
funding; and
WHEREAS, Title VIII of P.L.
117-43 required HUD to allocate
$1.6 Billion for major disasters
that occurred in 2020 by October
30, 2021, with 3.4 Billion remaining
available, through the
“Community Development Fund”
for major declared disasters in
2020 and 2021.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED, by the Cameron
Parish Police Jury, Cameron
Parish, Louisiana as follows:
We, the members of the
Cameron Parish Police Jury, on
behalf of all citizens of Cameron
Parish, provide our full support for
the recently passed disaster supplemental
funding.
We call upon our entire
Louisiana Legislative Delegation
and Congressional Delegation to
fully support and lend the full
effort and influence of their offices
to work with President Biden, the
U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), and
fellow members of Congress
toward an increased disaster
appropriations package for our
region that gives every consideration
to (i) the request of Governor
Edwards in January of 2021 and
(ii) the two federally declared disasters
following that request, to
address the significant unmet
needs of our region and state.
We request that HUD take
into consideration the data provided
by Governor Edwards, which
identifies more than $1.6 Billion
in unmet needs, therefore justifying
the allocation of the full $5
Billion currently authorized by
Title VIII of P.L. 117-43 for use by
states having disasters declared in
2020.
In order to quickly address
unmet needs and prevent further
delays in long term disaster recovery,
we request that HUD extend
trust to local government entities,
allowing flexibility in utilization of
CDBG-DR funding, including the
ability to use this funding as part
of local cost share for disaster
response funding/grants administered
by other Federal entities.
In order to further expedite
local recovery efforts, we request
that HUD consider providing upfront
disbursement of a portion of
funding for projects clearly meeting
the criteria for inclusion under
the State’s Action Plan.
BE IT FURTHER AND FINALLY
RESOLVED that a certified
copy of this resolution be forwarded
to The Honorable Joseph Biden,
President of the United States;
The Honorable John Bel Edwards,
Governor of the State of
Louisiana; Secretary Marcia L.
Fudge, U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development;
The honorable Cedric Richmond,
Senior Advisor to the President,
and to all members of the
Louisiana Legislative and
Congressional Delegations.

degrade containment dikes as necessary
to reestablish hydrologic
connectivity with adjacent wetlands;
and

Creation Cycles 6 & 7 project will
beneficially use material dredged
from Calcasieu River Ship

create and nourish approximately
929 acres of marsh habitat. The

to slow saltwater intrusion and to
reduce the wind induced erosion.
WHEREAS, the Long Point
Bayou Marsh Creation project will
beneficially use material dredged
from Calcasieu Rive Ship Channel
and pump via pipeline to create
and nourish approximately 395
acres of marsh habitat. The goal of
the marsh creation is to slow saltwater
intrusion and to reduce the
wind induced erosion.
WHEREAS, the Oyster Lake

is to slow saltwater intrusion
and to reduce the wind induced
