Rescue Readiness
United Cajun Navy has several volunteers who have been trained to do swift water rescue as well as search and rescue, that spring into action once the National Weather Service issues a storm warning. We have volunteers and ground personal that will arrive prior to a storm making landfall and setting up a staging area to operate from. These volunteers then through digital communication and HAM radio talk with our volunteer dispatchers who are effectively monitoring our Facebook and website for any request for immediate assistance.
HURRICANE FLORENCE
Hurricane Florence was a powerful and long-lived Cape Verde hurricane that caused catastrophic damage in the Carolinas in September 2018, primarily as a result of freshwater flooding due to torrential rain.
HURRICANE MICHAEL
Hurricane Michael was a very powerful and destructive tropical cyclone that became the first Category 5 hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Andrew in 1992. At least 74 deaths were attributed to the storm, including 59 in the United States and 15 in Central America.
Post-Storm Support
After the storm passes, United Cajun Navy has volunteers that help those who may have suffered a loss of residence or require clean up help! We have tree groups that will trim limbs off homes, patch holes in roofs, tarp and board up windows, muck out homes that got flooded, etc etc.
And even after that, United Cajun Navy still returns to affected areas with the help of our sponsors and partners to help provide ongoing assistance in means of clothing, food and even children school supplies and toys.
