** There's a flood risk right now. Our pump system has no backup power.
------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday's rain was intense, and there's more coming through the night and tomorrow morning. That brings the risk of flooding.

The S&WB is raising the alarm ([link removed]) about the lack of backup power for the city's drainage system.

“We are in a fragile state, and we have minimal – if at all – backup to what we have currently in the minimal arsenal to combat drainage in heavy events. It’s very, very minimal. It’s not a panic situation, but it’s a concerning and alarming situation to be just as blunt as I can be.”
- S&WB Executive Director Ghassan Korban
New Orleans needs funding from the state to update the outdated power supply for its drainage pumps. You can help by writing to your legislators ([link removed]) and telling them stand up for New Orleans.

This storm is highlighting a crucial problem that impacts the safety of all our city's residents. Take action now to help.
