SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY – With the floodwaters threatening and already making their way onto the streets in Shreveport and along the lower levels of the riverfront in Bossier City, the Louisiana National Guardsmen have been put on alert and have busy securing the area and bracing for more possible flooding.
“Engineer teams have been working nonstop on the construction of an 800 linear ft. HESCO barrier, consisting of two rows on the bottom and one row on the top totaling 2,400 linear feet, to fortify a concrete wall,” said Staff SGT Denis B. Ricou.
The Guardsmen have been busy hauling assets, assisting with construction efforts, and positioning various teams to affected areas since June 3rd.
