3 STATE/COUNTY PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Note: All information related to specific protective recommendations is ongoing and subject to moment by moment changes or adjustments by individual State and Local authorities. LOUISIANA: Local Parish States of Emergency o Plaquemines, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Charles Parishes Evacuations: o Mandatory evacuations: flood prone areas of St. Charles (53,000 people), Jefferson, Plaquemines parishes and Grand Isle Island. o Governor suggests people leave low-lying parts of the 15 parishes under a hurricane watch Orleans, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. Charles, Lafourche, Terrebonne, Assumption, St. James, St. John, Ascension, Livingston, Tangipahoa, St. Tammany and Washington. o State Police Monday continued to patrol metro New Orleans evacuation routes, but said a decision on activating contraflow would be based largely on whether south shore parishes call for mandatory evacuations inside the levees. New Orleans Mayor Landrieu said he expects New Orleans residents to shelter in place. But people need to be ready to leave, because if New Orleans is evacuated, there won t be anywhere in the city to stay, he said. o Neither the airport nor the Superdome nor the Convention Center is going to be a shelter of last resort, he said. In the event that an evacuation is called, everybody needs to make preparations because we will not be sheltering there. Governor has said to expect tropical storm winds (39-74 mph) to last up to 36 hours with up to 8 hours of hurricane force winds (+75 mph) Governor authorized 4,000 national guard to help support the effort State offices in all 15 will be closed Monday, officials said. DOTD has also stopped collecting tolls on LA-1. The state is activating contracts to provide buses to help with evacuations. By tomorrow, 200 buses will be available. o The Department of Education has also identified 50 buses, and if schools close, there will be approximately 150 buses from schools. Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans has implemented new pumps and floodgates and is comfortable that these new measures will prevent significant flooding, though there are deeper areas below sea level that will likely take longer to remove the water from heavy rainfall. In Plaquemines Parish, crews were lining newly raised levees on the east bank of the Mississippi River with heavy plastic on Sunday to protect exposed dirt, and adding Hesco Page 3 of 8
4 baskets to close gaps in low areas along Louisiana Highway 23, a news release said. Other crews were adding sandbags to levees in Pointe-a-la-Hache. The Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-West will begin closing non-essential flood gates on the West Bank in anticipation of strong southerly winds and high ties. 50 percent of offshore oil production and 40 percent of natural gas production has been shut in. As the storm continues to move west, 90 percent of oil production and 75 percent of natural gas production is expected to be shut in. MISSISSIPPI: Evacuations: o Mandatory evacuations have not been ordered, but are under consideration by emergency management officials. o Voluntary evacuations began in the low-lying coastal areas of Hancock County with shelters opening at 2pm today In Gulfport, officials have ordered the port clear of all cargo vessels Cat Island and East and West Ship islands in Harrison County are closed due to the storm. Hancock County Schools will be closed on Tuesday after a half day today Sandbags have been made available to coastal residents for preparation ALABAMA: Local County States of Emergency o Baldwin and Mobile counties Evacuations: o Governor Bentley is also ordering a mandatory evacuation beginning at 8:00 Monday morning for Zones 1 and 2 in both Mobile and Baldwin Counties. In Baldwin County: Zones 1 and 2 include all areas south of U.S. Highway 98 and areas on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay that are South of Interstate 10 and west of U.S. Highway 98. Additionally, all people living in proximity to the Fish, Styx, Blackwater, and Perdido Rivers should evacuate.
