It's been over a month since the catastrophic winds and waves associated with Hurricane Ida wreaked havoc throughout southeastern Louisiana. Many residents of that area have already headed back to begin rebuilding. Still, there are countless thousands with no place to stay while the rebuilding process is underway.

That could be changing very soon.

The Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness is teaming up with FEMA to expedite the delivery of travel trailers to some of the hardest-hit areas of the state. The trailers, which first became a widespread part of hurricane recovery following Hurricane Katrina, could be set up for some residents as early as this weekend.
