Storm Preparedness
We're Storm Ready
Cardinal Community, we hope we don't experience any weather threats this hurricane season, June 1 to November 30. But if we do, we have an experienced and knowledgable team ensuring we appropriately respond to any weather threats we face. Emergency Management constantly monitors numerous sources for the latest in tropical storm activity that could affect the Lamar Community.
We developed this site to provide resources and tips to be better prepared this hurricane season.
