Members of the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office Marine Division trained with deputies from various divisions, along with members of the St. Bernard Fire Department, on several types of boats to be prepared to immediately patrol neighborhoods in case of any type of rain event or flooding yearround and especially during this hurricane season.
With the beginning of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season starting this weekend, St. Bernard Sheriff James Pohlmann said southeast Louisiana residents should begin making plans so they can be prepared if a storm threatens our area.
Preparing for hurricane season, which runs June 1 through Nov. 30, should be something residents in our area are already accustomed to doing, the Sheriff said.
