Hurricane Evacuation Guide


In
the event of a hurricane, the appropriate response could save your
life. This "East Baton Rouge Parish Hurricane Response
Map" is a tool that can be useful in making decisions pertaining to
evacuation and safety. IF LOCAL AUTHORITIES RECOMMEND EVACUATION,
YOU SHOULD LEAVE --via major evacuation routes shown in red.
Louisiana State Police Troop (A) headquarters can assist you in the most
practical route to use during an evacuation.
IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY--locate the hospital
facility, shown in blue, with emergency room capabilities nearest
you. The Red Cross office can provide you with sheltering
information and other disaster preparation. Appropriate response
procedures can prepare people for potential hazards that could affect
their lives and property. Everyone is urged to use the information
provided in this brochure as a guide for hurricane preparedness.
