FRIENDS,

    As Hurricane Laura approaches Louisiana, We have prepared for the uncertainty that is before us. Your safety is our utmost concern; A VOLUNTARY EVACUATION is in place for ALLEN Parish. If you feel as though you may be safer out of the parish, please do so before the storm arrives.

If you feel you must evacuate, please advise someone of where you will be going so they will know where to locate you after the storm.

Take emergency supplies with you that you may need, such as food, water, cash, medications, and emergency contact information. Be prepared for at least 3 days of supplies with you, as you may not be able to return for that period.

Please make the necessary preparations for you pets or animals.
