Terrebonne Evacuation Map: What zone do I live in?
August 23, 2020
From TPSO:
Sheriff Tim Soignet is announcing that a curfew will be in effect for all of Terrebonne Parish from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the nights of Monday, Aug. 24, Tuesday, Aug. 25 and Wednesday, Aug. 26, due to emergency conditions expected as a result of Hurricane Marco.
“This action is the best way for us to ensure that both lives and property are protected as we endure this weather emergency,” Sheriff Soignet said.
• The curfew will NOT affect people traveling to or from work.
• Businesses are NOT required to close.
Because of storm surge potential, ZONE 1 of Terrebonne Parish is under a MANDATORY evacuation order as of 6 p.m. today, Sunday, August 23. This includes all areas south of the Morganza levee system.
Additionally, a VOLUNTARY evacuation is recommended for the community of Pointe-aux-Chenes.
The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government has advised us that a shelter will be opened at the HOUMA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM, 800 VERRET STREET IN HOUMA, beginning today at 6 p.m.
“It is my hope that at this point our residents have made all of their preparations,” Sheriff Soignet said. “If you are in a mandatory evacuation area, we urge you to leave. Staying can place you at great risk and increases the risks for emergency responders.”
