Friday marked the first official day of hurricane season, which forecasters predict to be near or slightly above average. For Southeast Louisiana, we all need to be prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season. I highly encourage you to visit
ready.gov/hurricanes, which has several resources to ensure you check all the boxes in your efforts to be prepared this summer. It's important we all have the necessary tools and supplies to secure our homes and protect our families in case a storm approaches. And don't forget to have an emergency evacuation plan ready. Know where you plan to go and how you will get there. Frequently, there's no time to make decisions when these storms are coming, so we all need to prepare our plans now.
