The detail

  1. Follow evacuation orders from local authorities. If your parish or county has ordered an evacuation, leave now. Contraflow is in effect on I-10 west and I-55 north.
  2. Check the road before you go. Closures are updated hourly. Do not drive around barricades; a closed road is closed because it is not safe.
  3. If you are flying, confirm with your airline. Airports in the region are open but many departures are canceled. Rebooking fees are waived.
