Hurricane Planning

Poydras Home residents and their families can rest assured that we are fully prepared for emergency situations. We have a long and impeccable record of successful response to these events. We have taken a number of steps to ensure that everyone who lives here will be protected during a Shelter In Place or safely evacuated if necessary should a weather emergency arise.

Our hurricane activation plan includes:

• Storm specific meetings at Poydras Home to inform residents and their family members about every detail of an impending evacuation
• Annual emergency evacuation drills for staff and residents
• Maintaining ample supplies and routinely testing equipment for prompt and safe evacuations
• Recruiting staff to be available in an emergency situation
• Annual access to a well-equipped, off-site location for emergency evacuations
