The Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) has activated a toll-free number citizens may call to get the latest information regarding Hurricane Gustav.

Citizens may dial 1-866-288-2484 to listen to a recorded message with the most up-to-date information state officials have on the storm and preparations for it.

Gustav is now a major hurricane and is expected to impact Louisiana as early as Monday.

Residents are asked to continue to monitor local media for updates as the state continues to prepare for possible landfall of Hurricane Gustav. The message will be updated as news warrants.

Citizens with internet access can also visit emergency.louisiana.gov for the latest information related to Hurricane Gustav.

Dear Pastors,

At this time, shelters outside of the “official” parish and state network and outside of the southern parishes are the priority.

What we need to know from your church right now is
(i) the location your shelter(s),
(ii) capacity,
(iii) any commodities (food, water, etc.)
(iv)cots, bedding, staffing, security, etc.
(v) Have you contacted the parish emergency coordinators?

Please email us back with this info at info@prccompassion.net ASAP!

Pray for wisdom and witty inventions,

Gene
