Episode 245: Pontchartrain Conservancy is Making Sure the Community is Ready for Hurricane Season

Hurricane season for the gulf coast begins June 1. Each year, Pontchartrain conservancy – the nonprofit dedicated to creating an environmentally sustainable, prosperous and resilient region – host their storm aware and prepare event. This even is meant to provide hurricane preparedness resources and supplies for the upcoming season. In addition, the organization partners with local businesses, government agencies and others to give people a chance to create new or more accurate hurricane plans, while also learning a little something about the region and what they can do to help.

This week, we talk to Haley White, Pontchartrain Conservancy’s community science and education manager, about what people can expect at the event and how the organization goes out into the community to make everyone a part of the solution.
