From WHYY (9/18/21):
A Saturday event in Norristown attracted some people still dealing with Hurricane Ida’s impact on the area.
From Best Buy and the Elmwood Park Zoo, to the office of Rep. Madeleine Dean and Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania, dozens of participants erected booths where people could approach and have conversations with prospective employers and organizations offering assistance and mental health, housing, and addiction resources.
Dean has traveled her congressional district to see Ida’s aftermath up close.
“Some people have lost houses. Some people have lost contents. Sadly, four people, four of my constituents, lost their lives. So what people want is to know that there are people there to help and that there are resources. We fought very hard alongside the governor to make sure we got FEMA authorization for resources and help,” Dean said.
