Earlier today, Evan Canzoneri of Louisiana Workers' Compensation Corporation and Tre' Hendry of John Hendry Insurance Agency presented Mayor David McDavid, Safety Officer Bob Whitaker, and Human Resources Director Ashlee Pratt with the LWCC 2024 Safest 70 Award on behalf of the city. This prestigious award will be proudly displayed in the City Council Chambers.
The Safest 70 Awards recognize businesses and organizations that prioritize employee safety by fostering secure work environments. Their commitment to safety not only reduces risks and workplace accidents but also contributes to a stronger, safer Louisiana for everyone.
Mayor McDavid has officially proclaimed April as Flood Awareness Month in the City of Zachary. During the City Council meeting, Bryant Dixon, the City’s Floodplain Manager, emphasized the importance of flood awareness and preparedness in the community. “With our region’s history of severe weather events and the increasing risks associated with heavy rainfall and hurricanes, it is essential to take proactive measures to safeguard our homes, businesses, and infrastructure,” said Dixon. “Flooding remains the most common and costly natural disaster, impacting countless families and communities each year. By recognizing April as Flood Awareness Month, we aim to educate residents about flood risks, encourage preparedness, and promote mitigation strategies. This includes understanding flood zones, ensuring proper drainage, maintaining infrastructure, and staying informed about flood insurance and emergency response plans.”
Mayor McDavid echoed these sentiments, urging residents to take necessary precautions. “We encourage everyone to take steps to protect their families and properties from potential flooding. Through awareness and preparedness, we can work together to build a more resilient Zachary,” he said.
April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring more storm water runoff. It’s important to keep our drains clean—remember, only rain belongs in the drain! As you tidy up your yard this spring, be sure to dispose of leaves, yard waste, and debris properly, not in storm drains.
The City of Zachary encourages residents to participate in Storm Water Prevention Awareness Days on Monday, April 7th, and Tuesday, April 8th, during your regular Bulky Waste Pickup Day. Please pre-bag green waste like leaves, flowers, stalks, stems, and tree trimmings, then place them by the road for Waste Depot pickup.
Bulky Waste Collection runs from 6 AM to 8 PM. Not sure of your pickup day?
North of Main Street/Hwy. 64:1st & 3rd Mondays
South of Main Street/Hwy. 64:1st & 3rd Tuesdays
Remember, please avoid blowing or sweeping grass clippings into storm drains also. Let’s keep our drains clear and our city clean!
