Parish and Community News

The Terrebonne Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness is continuing to monitor the progress of Tropical Storm Bonnie. A meeting was held at 11am this morning with the Parish President and other parish officials to discuss the response of the parish to the tropical storm. The parish may consider the issuance of a declaration of emergency for Terrebonne Parish on Saturday morning due to the tendency of the forecast track of the storm to move further east causing less of an impact and concern for Terrebonne Parish. As of 4pm today, the National Hurricane Center forecast track has the storm heading to the Louisiana-Mississippi state line which will have less of an effect on Terrebonne Parish. Even with this forecast track, the Terrebonne Parish of Emergency Preparedness will partially activate due to the fact Terrebonne Parish still lies within the National Hurricane Center error cone and that the Parish is in a Tropical Storm Warning. At the present time, no shelters have been open or evacuation orders issued within the Parish. The Terrebonne Parish Departments, Law Enforcement Agencies, and Emergency Services are currently on standby in the event that they would be called upon to implement their Tropical Storm Plans. The Parish currently has 20 locations of sand and sandbag locations throughout the Parish which are listed below and are also listed on the Parish website: Point-Au-Chene Fire Station 1466 Hwy. 665 Montegut, La. 70377 Montegut Fire Station 1105 Hwy. 55 Montegut, La. 70377 St. Ann Church Hwy. 24 Bourg, La. 70343 Grand Caillou Fire Station Bobtown AirbaseAdultSoftballComplex 9544 East Main St. Houma, La. 70363 Upper Bayou Dularge Fire Station 633 Bayou Dularge Rd.
