lives and property of its residents when threatened from natural disasters, as well as man-made occurrences such a hazardous materials incidents.
    This coordination is possible through the development and constant updating of an Integrated Emergency Operating Plan that effectively combines all Parish Department Operations along with those of other service agencies during emergencies. Hazards analysis, mitigation efforts, preparedness, and response and recovery procedures for all the potential hazards that could threaten our parishes are the year-around planning efforts performed and executed by the staff.
    The office of Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness operates from the Parish’s Emergency Operating Center (EOC). It is the primary site for direction and control of
emergency operations. The EOC linked with the 911 Communications Center, sheriff, police, fire, medical and all parish service departments work together to form the parish’s emergency team.
