VIDEO: While nothing was brewing in the Gulf of Mexico heading into the week, first responders nonetheless trained for the worst in the state capital Sunday. On Sunday, officials from each part of the state met in Baton Rouge to watch fire, EMS and other personnel work as part of the Louisiana Urban Search and Rescue Team to demonstrate that training. And with hurricane season underway, many first responders from across Louisiana have finished their yearly training and are ready to practice how to handle disaster situations, like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. From men and women putting equipment together to save lives, to K-9 units searching for people under rubble, the team showed how they plan to respond when disasters happen.
