Louisiana Transitional Recovery Office (LATRO)
The LATRO is an extension of the Gulf Coast Recovery Organization that was set-up by FEMA to assist the citizens of Louisiana and the gulf coast in the recovery efforts from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Public affairs specialists, located in the LATRO in New Orleans and the Area Field Office in Baton Rouge, ensure dissemination of information that:
- Is timely, accurate, consistent and easy to understand;
- Explains what people can expect from their government;
- Demonstrates clearly that FEMA and other federal, state, local and voluntary agencies are working together to provide the services needed to rebuild communities and restore lives.
The LATRO’s overarching objective is to administer the full range of Stafford Act programs in an efficient and timely manner, and respond to emerging needs that are vital to Louisiana’s recovery.
