On this episode of the Beaumont Beat we’re chatting with Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator, Shaqueena Nobles, about all the things she does to help make sure the City of Beaumont is prepared for incidents like major weather events.
We’ll also talk about what you can do as a resident to stay prepared during hurricane season, which runs from June 1st until November 30th.
