Thank you to Public Lab and Water Works for hosting the dinner last week. I wanted to send details on the things Sarah Babcock (New Orleans Health Department) and I mentioned at the dinner.
NOLA Ready is the City’s emergency preparedness campaign, managed by the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness.
· Our website provides preparedness tips to residents at a 5th grade reading level, with specific info for special populations: http://ready.nola.gov/. Soon, it will be trilingual (English, Spanish & Vietnamese).
· Hurricane preparedness information is available, including City-assisted evacuation for those who need assistance evacuating: http://ready.nola.gov/plan/hurricane/
· Seniors and people with medical & mobility needs can sign up for our Special Needs Registry. This lets us know who may need additional assistance during an emergency, including an evacuation. Call 311 to register or go to http://ready.nola.gov/plan/seniors/#registry.
· We have an emergency alert system. Residents & businesses listed in the white & yellow pages are already registered. To receive alerts to cell phones or by email, sign up at http://ready.nola.gov/stay-connected/emergency-alerts/. You can also subscribe to receive preparedness information year-round.
· Downloadable guides are available. Organizations can also order printed guides to distribute: http://ready.nola.gov/stay-connected/guides/
· We are available to provide emergency preparedness trainings on topics like hurricane preparedness, flood mitigation & insurance, active shooter preparedness, etc. We’ll work with you to customize to your needs.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We’ll be happy to participate in any future events as well.
Best,
Laura
