NEW ORLEANS — With the start of hurricane season just days away, today Mayor Helena Moreno joined city officials, first responders, and regional partners to detail how the City of New Orleans is preparing to respond to hurricanes, flash flooding, and other severe weather threats throughout 2026.
“Hurricane season starts in less than a week. NOAA is predicting a below average season - which is good news for us, but we still need to be ready just in case something severe comes our way,” Mayor Helena Moreno said. “This is why this meeting with our local and state partners is important to ensure everyone is set before hurricane season starts so we can keep New Orleanians safe. And while we do that, it’s important for you to come up with and go over your emergency plan with your family to make sure you are also prepared.”
