As Louisiana enters the height of hurricane season, the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) wants business owners and residents to be in the know about major policies and information that affect disaster recovery. JEDCO worked closely with experts at the local, state, and federal levels to create the Ready and Resilient webinar series. Throughout the month of August, JEDCO will host virtual informational sessions to educate and empower homeowners and business owners to prepare now for the busiest part of storm season.
