With the possibility of several inches of rain and the flash flood risk coming
this week, our crews have been taking proactive steps to prepare and keep
our parish safe, and we encourage you to do the same for your home and
family. Our Evangeline Parish 911 OEP (Office of Emergency Preparedness)
is continuing to monitor the development closely. Residents should stay
weather aware, monitor the latest forecasts. You may access the Evangeline
Parish 911 OEP Facebook page at www.facebook.com/evangeline911oep for
continuous updates.
