[Image: Picture of hurricane]As Hurricane Gustav disappears and Hurricane Ike is approaching the LSU AgCenter has an array of information to help people in their recovery from the multiple problems caused by a hurricane. These problems include the danger of disease from insects, other pests and flood waters as well as illness from contamination by flood waters. Please heed the following advice. Much more information is available at www.lsuagcenter.lsu.edu and at parish extension offices. At the Rapides Parish Extension Office contact Quincy Cheek, Extension Agent in Family and Consumer Sciences at 767-3968 for more information about disasters.
