With tropical weather in the forecast, state emergency officials are encouraging residents to review their storm plans and “Get a Gameplan” before conditions worsen.
The Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) says now is the time to gather supplies, check your evacuation zone, and make sure you’re signed up for local alerts.
What to do now:
- Build an emergency kit with food, water, batteries, chargers and medications
- Know where you’ll go if an evacuation order is issued
- Keep gas in your tank and cash on hand
- Register for alerts from your parish’s emergency office
- Check on neighbors, especially seniors and those with special needs
GOHSEP’s GetAGameplan.org website includes printable checklists, evacuation maps and guidance in both English and Spanish. The campaign also includes pet preparedness tips and flood insurance reminders.
