Disaster Relief & Search

The United Cajun Navy responds year-round to wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and search missions. Our teams deploy boats, drones, and K-9 units to save lives and support communities in crisis.

Rescue Readiness

United Cajun Navy has several volunteers trained in swift water rescue and search and rescue, who spring into action once the National Weather Service issues a storm warning. Volunteers arrive prior to a storm making landfall, setting up staging areas. They coordinate through digital communication and HAM radio with volunteer dispatchers monitoring all channels for assistance requests.

Post-Storm Support

After the storm passes, volunteers help those who suffered loss of residence or require clean-up help. Our tree groups trim limbs off homes, patch holes in roofs, tarp and board up windows, muck out flooded homes, and more. For the United Cajun Navy, "Neighbors" means every community in need.
