Mission

Vision

To lead and support Louisiana and its citizens in the preparation for, response to and recovery from all emergencies and disasters. 

To be a center of excellence for emergency management and homeland security known for leadership, innovation and service for the benefit of Louisiana, its citizens and all other stakeholders.

The parish, through GOHSEP, has significant responsibility to protect communities, citizens, property and assets in the event of an emergency or disaster. We do that by working with partners from State and Federal agencies; Parish, Tribal and local governments; nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); private nonprofits (PNPs) and other private-sector businesses to achieve its Mission and Vision.
