We had a strong and inspiring first working group meeting in Jefferson Parish!

Community members gathered to brainstorm potential ideas for Resilience Hubs, reflected on what resilience means to the members of the working group and had honest conversations about our community’s strengths, existing gaps, and effective strategies.

Thank you to every participant who showed up and shared their thoughts. Your insights are helping us design solutions rooted in the lived realities of our communities!

2026 Hurricane Preparedness Weekly Tips

Week 2: Build Your Hurricane Go Kit Before You Need It

Hurricane season is here, and the best time to prepare is before a storm threatens our area.
Every household should have a Go Kit/Bag ready in case you need to evacuate quickly. Your kit
should contain enough supplies to sustain your family for at least 72 hours.

Being prepared today can help protect your family tomorrow.

More exciting UHN RISING progress today! We held our first joint working group meeting bringing together community members from both St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes.

Participants shared thoughtful conversations around potential ideas for Resilience Hubs, reflected on what resilience truly means to them, and openly discussed community strengths, current gaps, and practical strategies.

We also explored meaningful ways the hubs can connect with and uplift our people across both parishes.

A big thank you to all who joined and contributed. Your perspectives are directly helping create solutions that reflect our communities’ needs and vision!

Stay tuned for your chance to help plan resilience hubs in your area! Together we are building a more resilient United Houma Nation. 💪
