Governor Jeff Landry issued a State of Emergency today in preparation for the winter weather expected to hit Louisiana.
The National Weather Service has issued cold weather advisories and extreme cold warnings for the State beginning Monday, January 20 through Thursday, January 23. This State of Emergency allows for direct state assistance to support operational measures at the parish level and helps protect the life, safety, and welfare of Louisianans.
“Keeping Louisianans safe is our top priority. I am declaring a state of emergency for the incoming winter storm currently forecasted to impact Louisiana, and I’m encouraging everyone to stay alert, monitor the weather forecast, and prepare now for any potential impacts,” said Governor Landry.
