What to do next

Start with the right questions

Use the source-backed answers below to understand the boundaries that apply to the situation.

Weather is planning context, not a repair verdict

The National Weather Service identifies flash, river, coastal, debris-jam, and levee-failure flooding as Louisiana hazards; this official weather information is route and operating context, not a windshield repairability or replacement determination.
