MONROE, La. – The state’s Hurricane Laura death toll rose by two to 14 Sunday as cleanup efforts were hampered by power outages that may last a month and dry water spigots in many of the hardest-hit areas.

The Louisiana Department of Health said a 57-year-old Calcasieu Parish man died from a head injury after falling from a roof he was trying to repair. Another unidentified Calcasieu resident died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

More than 350,000 Louisiana residents remained without electricity Sunday, while 87 water systems serving upward of 150,000 people remained inoperable.

Six parishes – Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis and Vernon – can apply for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after President Donald Trump’s major disaster declaration.

“I want to encourage anyone from these parishes to apply for assistance today,” said Gov. John Bel Edwards, who asked that 17 parishes be added to the list.

“For the people in other parishes that were impacted but not yet approved for aid, please know that we will continue damage assessments and do expect additional parishes to be authorized,” he said.

FEMA assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans for uninsured property loss and other programs to help people and businesses recover.

Thousands of power outages, roads blocked

Entergy, the largest electric provider, has about 13,000 personnel from 29 states with boots on the ground in Louisiana, but more than 170 major transmission towers were wiped out by the hurricane.

Beauregard Electric Cooperative, which serves hard-hit DeRidder, told its members in a Facebook post it will be at least four weeks before their power is restored. “Members could be without power for longer depending on the damage in their area,” the post said.

Louisiana Secretary of Transportation Shawn Wilson said his agency and its contractors have cleared about 98% of state roads of debris. Only those roads underwater or covered with live power lines remain.

Wilson told the USA TODAY Network debris removal on the side of the roads will begin Monday in Acadiana and southwestern and central Louisiana Monday, while crews will begin removing debris from the northeastern region Tuesday.

The National Guard set up distribution points in parishes to provide water and military-type meal rations.

Sunday, the American Red Cross established two sites in Calcasieu Parish and two in Beauregard Parish to provide cleanup kits.
