LAFAYETTE, Louisiana – As Hurricane Laura continues to lasame Louisiana and Texas with gusts of wind and heavy rain, Cajun Navy Relief and Rescue has boots on the ground on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The Cajun Navy is a non-profit, non-profit, life-saving, herbal disaster organization.
In preparation for rescue missions, Member Donald Elam said the instrumental materials are: first aid kits, extra fuel, a chainsaw, life jackets for adults and children, a bag of equipment and plenty of water and masks.
The Cajun Navy and other reactions were organized in Louisiana at Lake Charles and Jennings and in Texas in Baytown and Beaumont.

“This historic typhoon is still sweeping the Cajun Navy’s collecting domain near Lake Charles. [Southwest Louisiana] is in trouble and will want help,” the team said on his Facebook page.
Some members of the Cajun Navy were also at Buc-ee’s in Baytown, Texas, before heading east to help, according to ABC13 Houston.
The Cajun Navy Hummer can traverse floods of up to six feet, which can help clear the way for other cars, ABC 13 reported.
“Please keep all of our volunteers in your mind and in prayers,” Cajun Navy Relief tweeted Thursday. “Our navigators are beginning to embark on this complicated path. Letting their families and others come while they risk their own lives.”
