Historic floods in southeastern Louisiana this week have affected thousands of families and businesses in Baton Rouge and its surrounding communities, which are only beginning to assess the damage.

The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA)ELECTRI International have extended their thoughts and support to those hurt by the flooding. NECA member businesses were flooded with water because of the storms.  The devastation has led NECA and ELECTRI International to issue a call for donations to replenish the fund and to reach out to those contractors who may have been affected.

To donate post a check to Electri International, 3 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 1100, Bethesda, MD 20814, and include "NECA Disaster Relief Fund" in the notes section of the check.  Click here to view the NECA Cares video of the recent flooding.
