00:00Oh my God! Yo! Yo!
00:06Just like with Hurricane Katrina, we're not trying to be here for the disaster.
00:17Oh yeah!
00:30This weekend is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
00:34And it's a stark reminder that we have to do everything we can to prepare the people in the region
00:40and make sure we're ready to respond.
01:30Boarded up the two buildings across. I've been two days now boarding up a lot of buildings.
01:36A lot of buildings. Getting ready.
01:38I got my family back at home. We got the generator and stuff.
01:42And we're just getting the gas, as much gas as we can.
02:00We've pre-positioned food, water, generators, and other supplies in the area.
02:12Power restoration and mobile communications support teams are also en route.
02:17We've also closely coordinated with the electric utilities to restore power as soon as possible
02:23and to support your response and recovery efforts.
