Hurricane season is a lived reality here, not a hypothetical, and flood and storm restoration companies get flooded with calls the moment a storm is named, often more calls in a single day than a small office can return in a week.
Tourism drives huge swings in call volume for hospitality support businesses, from event staffing to cleaning services, especially around Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and major conventions when every vendor in the city is scrambling.
