Gov. Jeff Landry proclaimed Aug. 29, 2025, as Hurricane Katrina Remembrance Day. He and First Lady Sharon Landry encourage residents to participate in a day of prayer.
Statement from Landry:
“Twenty years ago, our state endured one of the darkest chapters in its history. But out of that tragedy, the people of Louisiana showed the world what it means to rebuild, recover, and rise stronger than ever before. This week, we honor the lives lost and pay tribute to the countless heroes who answered the call. As we remember Hurricane Katrina, we also recognize the incredible progress we’ve made to rebuild stronger, invest in preparedness, and protect the future of our great state.”
Gov. Jeff Landry
Sen. John Kennedy recalled Katrina’s landfall and its “devastating” effects in a statement Friday. He said he remembers fielding calls from credit rating agencies and financial institutions when he served as state treasurer.
“It wasn’t easy. It was far from easy, but Louisianians pulled through the destruction. We didn’t let it break us. We might have been bowed a few times, but we never broke.
“On this 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I am proud to be a Louisianian.
“To the families who are facing their 20th year of missing a loved one that they lost in the storm, Becky and I are praying for you. All of Louisiana is sending its love.”
