Homeland Security / Emergency Preparedness

Goal

The Plaquemines Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness’ goal is to provide its residents and businesses with all the necessary information needed to plan for an emergency, disaster of any kind, or to report suspicious activity. Disasters can be in the form of weather related conditions or man-made disasters including a possible terrorist attack.

Purpose

We encourage all residents and businesses to review the information provided and keep all important numbers and information where it is easily accessible should an emergency or disaster occur or to report suspicious activity.
