Out of an abundance of caution, Iberia Parish President M. Larry Richard is recommending that ALL RESIDENTS of Iberia Parish consider VOLUNTARILY EVACUATING, especially those
- Living in areas vulnerable to potential storm surges
- Having special needs
- Living in low-lying areas along lakes, bayous, streams, and/or drainage structures that have experienced flooding in the past
- Living in a structure that has experienced flooding following heavy rain events
Richard issued an emergency declaration for the parish ahead of Marco and Laura effective at 5 p.m. on Friday, August 21, 2020.
Those residents who wish to evacuate should begin that process immediately.
