From the Office of the Parish President – The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government is working hard to prepare for the anticipated severe cold temperatures.

 

WARMING SHELTER: To ensure that all residents have access to safe, warm lodging during this weather event, TPCG will open a warming shelter for residents in need. The shelter will be located at the Houma Municipal Auditorium, 880 Verret Street and will open on Monday, January 15, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. It will remain open until the severe weather is no longer a threat to Terrebonne Parish residents.


 

 

  • Pack appropriately: Residents should bring their own food, water, and bedding. Additionally, residents are encouraged to bring personal necessities such as clothing, medication/medical supplies, phone chargers, personal hygiene products, and comfort items (books, games, etc.).
  • If you have a pet: Pets are allowed at the shelter only if they are on a leash or in a kennel. Pet owners are required to bring their own pet food and bowls.
  • If you need transportation: Good Earth Transit will be coordinating transport to the shelter for residents who need a ride. Residents can schedule a pickup with Good Earth Transit by calling (985) 850-4616 ext. 230.
