Resources for Hurricane Laura Response

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS Editor. 

RCS partners offer the products and services that can help you respond to Hurricane Laura.  

Hurricane Laura made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, causing significant damage to properties and homes across the state of Louisiana. Lake Charles, Alexandria and Shreveport have been hit hard with high winds and driving rain, leaving damaged and blown off roofs and siding in its wake.  

As the hurricane moves inland, it will bring rain and winds across Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland. RoofersCoffeeShop® is here to help you respond to the storm.
