Cameron Parish
A mandatory evacuation order is in effect for all residents living in the parish,
according to its Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. The parish has assured residents there will be no roadblocks or road closures during the evacuation process.
Iberia Parish
Officials
announced voluntary evacuations for residents in Iberia Parish on Monday, urging residents with special needs and those living in low-lying and vulnerable areas to strongly consider evacuating.
“Those residents that wish to evacuate should begin that process immediately,” said Parish President M. Larry Richard. “Residents who choose to remain may find themselves without power and unable to leave the area until floodwaters recede and storm debris is removed.”
Residents can monitor Iberia PINS (Parish Information Notification System),
the Iberia Parish Government website and
Facebook for further updates.
