David Rutherford Show: America’s Citizen Disaster-Response Team: The United Cajun Navy
When disaster strikes, seconds matter — and sometimes the first help doesn’t come from official agencies. In this episode of The David Rutherford Show, Brian Trascher of the United Cajun Navy explains how a volunteer disaster-response network grew from Hurricane Katrina rescues into a nationwide force capable of deploying helicopters, logistics networks, and rapid response supply chains. From search-and-rescue missions to delivering communication systems into isolated disaster zones, this episode breaks down how modern volunteer response operations work — and why speed, logistics, and communication determine survival in crisis scenarios. The United Cajun Navy was built on the idea that ordinary Americans can mobilize to help each other when systems move too slowly. Their operations now include nationwide volunteer networks, pre-positioned supply logistics, and rapid deployment rescue operations.
