When it comes to readiness for whatever emergency situation it may face, White Castle, Louisiana sets the standard very high!

The main reason for this is the constant effort of White Castle's Mayor, John Morris III. Mayor Morris has been in office since 2018. In that time, he has guided his town through efforts to get power restored after seven days during Hurricane Ida, among other things.

Mayor Morris believes in preparing for the worst and building relationships with surrounding communities and qualified leaders. He feels this is key to guiding and preparing White Castle for what disasters might be on the horizon, namely hurricanes.

Putting this belief into practice, Mayor Morris brought the entire Town Council to Florida recently for the National Hurricane Conference where they received high level training and were certified Hurricane Ready by FEMA.

In this episode, Mayor Morris talks about the advantages and challenges of being a full time mayor in a small but vulnerable community like White Castle. He also talks about the relationship that Emergency Managers and politicians can and should have in a time of crisis.
