Those of us who have lived in Louisiana over the last decade know how devastating tropical storms, hurricanes, floods, ice storms and other natural and man-made emergencies or disasters can be. Our State continues to recover from the twin back-to-back disasters of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, followed by the added community, personal and economic impacts of Hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Isaac, Mississippi River flooding, British Petroleum (BP) oil spill and other challenging events. Each new storm season brings a renewed awareness of the need to be prepared and to continue to invest in efforts that make Louisiana more resilient, so Louisiana families and businesses are better able to withstand, bounce back quickly and recover when an emergency or disaster event occurs. You need to know what you, your family and your business partners and employees should do in the event of an emergency or disaster. This Louisiana Emergency Preparedness Guide (Guide) can help. From identifying our most likely risks to providing sheltering information and evacuation routes to listing supplies you might need, identifying special needs and more, this Guide should be YOUR Guide to personal planning. |
