Washington Parish Government Anticipates Issuing State of Emergency

Press Release From Washington Parish Government

"Given the severity of the upcoming winter weather, I anticipate issuing a state of emergency for Washington Parish, effective Tuesday, January 21, 2025. Our Emergency Operations Center will be activated to monitor the weather until such time warrants. That office can be reached at 985-726-8745. Washington Parish Government offices will remain closed on January 21, 2025.

WPG Road Crews stand ready and prepared to serve the parish with any problems that may arise due to the winter weather.

To ensure the safety and well-being of our community, I cannot stress the importance of being prepared for some very cold temperatures. Travel conditions will not be favorable, and it is possible that power outages could be widespread due to the possibility of snow and ice. Please check on your neighbors, especially the elders. Make certain that you have groceries and prescription medication to sustain you and your family. Make certain that your pipes are wrapped, and your pets are safe and warm."
