<div><strong>Hurricane Season 2017 &#8211; June 1st &#8211; November 30th</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<p><strong><em>The latest coordinate information and storm tracking maps can be found </em></strong><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong><em>HERE</em></strong></a><strong><em>.</em></strong></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Hurricane Season is here once again. Are you prepared?</span></p>
<p>With forecasters predicting a hurricane season with the possibility of 12 named storms, with five becoming hurricanes and up to two becoming major hurricanes, its more important than ever to be prepared. It&#8217;s been years since LA residents had to evacuate, which makes it even more crucial to reevaluate your family&#8217;s emergency plan and supplies.</p>
<p>LifeSongs wants to make sure you and your family take all the necessary precautions in case of an emergency.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ohsep.louisiana.gov/evacinfo/SEHurriGuide.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> for your printable LA Citizen Awareness &amp; Disaster Evacuation Guide.</p>
<p><strong>New Orleans Plan</strong></p>
<p>Everyone needs a <em>Game Plan</em>! <a href="http://www.getagameplan.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.getagameplan.org</a></p>
<p>City officials stress that there will be no shelters of last resort in the area, though they will help those who need assitance find a safe place.</p>
<p>In the event of a category three hurricane or stronger, the city will begin implementing its mandatory evacuation plan. That plan begins when tropical force winds are 84 hours off the Louisiana Coast. At the 54 hour mark RTA busses will begin picking up residents in need at 15 locations (see pickup points listed below), bringing them to either the New Orleans Arena or the train station. At the 50 hour mark, the state begins evacuation of areas outside the levee protection. At 30 hours the mayor orders a mandatory evacuation and the state implements contraflow traffic. At 12 hours the last Amtrak train leaves the city, and at six hours, the city hunkers down in preparation for the storm.</p>
<p>There is currently a plan in place for pet evacuations, but people will be separated from their pets during processing at the arena. Anyone wishing to stay with their animal will have to make their own evacuation plans. Where the busses and trains go will be up to the state and federal government. The city also unveiled a new emergency message system that will notify citizens, first responders and even tourists in the event of an emergency. Anyone wishing to receive the text message notification must register by going to <a href="http://new.nola.gov/ready/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new.nola.gov/ready</a>.</p>
<p>If anyone needs help evacuating and wants to be a part of the citys assisted evacuation plan, they can sign up online at <a href="http://new.nola.gov/ready/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new.nola.gov/ready</a>, or call the city&#8217;s hotline at 311 or 658-2299. It is staffed from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.</p>

<p><strong>Sign-Up for the Hurricane Alert System</strong><br />
The city wants everyone living in New Orleans to sign-up for a new Hurricane Alert System. Those who register will be contacted via e-mail, cell phone, pager or Blackberry about any storms threatening the region. To sign-up, visit <a href="http://new.nola.gov/ready/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new.nola.gov/ready.</a></p>
<p><strong>New Orleans Arena To Be Used In Evacuation</strong><br />
The New Orleans Arena will be used as the citys main evacuation processing center for residents with no way of leaving in advance of a major hurricane this year. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center will be used as a staging area for emergency personnel, including National Guard, police and firefighters. Using the arena for residents also will make it easier to move elderly or special-needs evacuees to trains at the nearby Union Passenger Station.</p>
<p><strong>Contraflow Plans Ready for Hurricane Season</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.contraflowmaps.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> for contraflow maps.</p>
<p>When a big hurricane is imminent, the only way to get people out of the way is <a href="http://www.contraflowmaps.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">contraflow</a>. The state once again plans to turn the interstates in one direction to evacuate. For our region, there are three sections of highway where contraflow would be used. But state and local leaders hope people plan ahead, and get out early to beat the gridlock if a big storm heads our way.</p>

<p><strong>Emergency Traffic Info<br />
</strong>Citizens can get the latest updates on real-time traffic and road conditions by using the 511 Traveler Information System simply by dialing 511 from their telephone and saying the route or region about which they are seeking information. Travelers can also access this information by visiting the 511 Traveler Information Web site at <a href="http://www.511LA.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.511LA.org</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Emergency Shelter Information &amp; Checkpoints</strong><br />
Because of the fluid nature of shelter occupancy, citizens are encouraged to obtain information about shelter openings and locations at shelter information points along the evacuation route. Information about shelter evacuation points will be posted on this site as well as on the <a href="http://www.dss.state.la.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Department of Social Services website</a>, the <a href="http://www.lsp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Louisiana State Police website</a>, or by calling the American Red Cross at their toll-free number, (866) GET-INFO or (866) 438-4636.</p>
<p><strong>Personal/Family Emergency Preparedness</strong><br />
Be sure you and your loved ones have a clear plan of action in place in case of a mandatory evacuation, including evacuation maps, emergency contact information, and an emergency preparedness kit. There are six basics that you should stock for your disaster supply kit: <em>water, food, clothing and bedding, first aid supplies, tools and emergency supplies and special items.</em> <a href="http://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/checklist_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> for a complete list of items for your family disaster supply kit.</p>
