Upcoming Events

Protecting ourselves, our coast and our culture.

What has been done, and what remains?

This week LA SAFE and June 27^th the Terrebonne Parish Coastal Day:

LA SAFE community meetings

Following up on earlier parish-wide meetings, LA SAFE staff is holding meetings at three locations around the Parish this week. The goal is that in these open discussions residents will identify and prioritize programs that will help facilitate adaptation and support community needs. The state will take the information and develop a plan to capture parish priorities and projects based on environmental risk factors, economic sense, and social/cultural benefits. Food, childcare and transportation are available. Call 225-772-1372 for transportation to the LA SAFE events this week.
