MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
"During times of crisis, it is essential that lines of communication remain open between authorities and the people of our state. It is imperative that Louisianians and their families are well prepared, informed of emergency procedures, and each family has a personal disaster plan. Every second counts. This website provides important information for families across the state regarding preparation and evacuation in a time of disaster, information which helps save lives. I urge you to review this website, and to ensure that your entire family is knowledgeable on its contents. In the event of a major disaster, I will use this website and other channels in order to provide updates, and by working together we can ensure safe, efficient preparation and evacuation methods during times of crisis."

-Governor Bobby Jindal
