Plan, Prepare, Protect: Your Guide to Hurricane Preparedness

In South Louisiana, it seems like a hurricane is always on the horizon. We’re all too familiar with the effects of severe weather, but that doesn’t mean we can afford to be lax when a storm approaches. Being proactive can make all the difference in keeping you, your family, and your property safe. Know your evacuation route, have a family plan, and stay informed through local weather updates. Pay close attention to local advisories and evacuation orders, as they can change quickly. If an evacuation is ordered, don’t delay—leave immediately. If you plan to shelter in place, ensure you have enough supplies for at least four days while recovery efforts begin.

By staying informed and having a plan, you can protect what matters most when severe weather strikes. For tips on staying safe during and after a hurricane, check out our helpful links for more information and checklists to better prepare yourself for hurricane season.
