With Tropical Storm Gustav swirling near Jamaica and likely to enter the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane this weekend, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said an evacuation could begin as early as Friday – three years to the day after Katrina inundated New Orleans. Jindal said he had activated the state's catastrophic action team and could declare a state of emergency as early as today. He also put the Louisiana National Guard on alert. "We all need to be prepared and ready to respond, from the citizen level and at every level of government," Jindal said. Tracking Resources Huffmaster offers the following links so you can track Gustav's progress throughout the Labor Day weekend and early next week. National weather experts also have updated predictions to 15 named storms to form in the Atlantic - with eight of those storms becoming hurricanes. Four of the hurricanes are expected to develop into major storms with wind speeds of 111 mph or greater. Don't Wait To Plan For Gustav In the wake of Hurricane Katrina's devastation in 2005, Huffmaster provided security officer services to numerous Fortune 500 and smaller businesses in the effected areas of Louisiana.
