Louisiana Emergency Alert System
During the threat of a hurricane, a phased evacuation will be based on geographic location and time in which tropical storm winds are forecasted to reach the affected areas. State officials have established a network of sites along major highways across Louisiana that will guide evacuating motorists to shelter, food, gas, and other services. Alert systems are in place to share this information with the public.
