You can’t blame Gerard Braud for shooting a video and then posting it on Facebook that shows what Baton Rouge homeowners are facing after their homes were flooded.
Braud went to Baton Rouge to help a friend get his house in order. Like him, I feel the urge to do something to help, too.
The video shows Braud driving down a typical street there panning left and right at the huge piles of trash piled up on the front lawns of residents there.
Braud was a reporter at the NBC affil in New Orleans, WDSU, when I worked there. He’s a crisis communications expert these days, but couldn’t help himself by reporting on what homeowners must go through after the flood waters have receded.

“Donations to the American Red Cross will really make a difference,” said Braud on a Facebook post.
“Flood insurance will only pay 20 cents on a dollar for items lost. It is NOT replacement cost at all. Plus, many of these homes have no flood insurance because they are not in FEMA designated flood zones. This flood is classified as a once in 1,000 year event.”
