Barely a week into the Atlantic hurricane season, we’ve already seen our first named storm of the year — Tropical Storm Alex — form and dissipate, which means it’s time for Louisianans to get prepared.

Maybe you want to know how to pack a go-bag, when you need to evacuate or how to safely leave your home if you don’t have a car.

Maybe you're wondering where to find local weather updates and how to keep track of storms as they form in the Gulf.

Maybe you're interested in seeing more coverage about mental health after hurricanes or the status of local utilities as we gear up for more storms.

We at WWNO and WRKF want to know your questions as we anticipate another “above-average” hurricane season this year.

Your questions will help guide our newsroom’s coverage over the course of the 2022 hurricane season, which runs from June 1st through November 30th.

We'll also ask for your contact information, and if you'd be willing to talk with a reporter for a story in the future.

In the meantime, here's something to get you started: information on important documentsto gather in case you need to file a FEMA or insurance claim down the line.

Carly Berlin is the New Orleans Reporter for WWNO and WRKF. She focuses on housing, transportation, and city government. Previously, she was the Gulf Coast Correspondent for Southerly, where her work focused on disaster recovery across south Louisiana during two record-breaking hurricane seasons. Much of that reporting centered on the aftermath of Hurricanes Laura and Delta in Lake Charles, and was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center.
