Disaster Deployments
What Happens During
The United Cajun Navy responds year-round to wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and more. Our work includes search and rescue missions, supply distribution, and vital community support. The examples below highlight past deployments that showcase the depth and breadth of our disaster response efforts.
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.
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.
For the United Cajun Navy, “Neighbors” means every community in need. Whether it’s delivering food, water, or supplies after a storm, we treat all who are hurting as our neighbors. That’s why we deploy across the country to bring relief and hope where it’s needed most.
