inventory must be provided to the Parish OHSEP. A copy
of the combined Parish and municipal inventory must
be submitted to GOHSEP biennially.
Evacuation and sheltering plans for at-risk
populations must provide guidance to:
• Identify and ensure the use of all available
means of transportation.
• Notify the at-risk population of a mandatory
evacuation and available transportation.
• Assess an individual’s state and the capacity of
available facilities to provide appropriate and
needed assistance to determine whether the
risk of sheltering in place outweighs the risk
of loss of life if forced to evacuate.
• Coordinate transportation resources with a
shelter destination outside of the impacted area.
• Provide for medical emergencies that may
occur during evacuation.
• Execute the plan within 36 hours of
declaration of a voluntary evacuation and
within 12 hours of a declared mandatory
evacuation.
In addition to the inventory and assessment deadlines
noted previously, the evacuation and sheltering plan
for at-risk populations must also be submitted to
GOHSEP biennially on or before December 1 and
every second year thereafter. The plan should include
evacuation and sheltering for essential workers and
address the provisions for food, water and shelter for at
least 72 hours post-landfall of any hurricane.
