Jefferson Parish:
Jefferson Parish residents are not allowed back into the parish until businesses and and first responders are set up and prepared for them to return.
The parish is implementing a two-phase re-entry plan. Tier 1 is made up of critical businesses, contractors and first responders. Tier 2 is made up of those businesses necessary to prepare for the return of residents, such as groceries, pharmacies, gas stations and banks.
Both tiers are going to begin returning simultaneously Tuesday at noon.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 agencies and businesses must have “re-entry placards,” which are credentials allowing them to enter and move about in the parish.
After Tier 1 and Tier 2 re-entry is complete, the parish will be open to re-entry for residents.
A strict 24-hour curfew is in place throughout the parish, and residents are instructed to stay inside their homes or face the possibility of arrest.
Parish public schools and Archdiocesan parochial schools in Jefferson Parish will remain closed through the end of this week.
Orleans Parish:
Right now New Orleans city officials are assessing the damage of Hurricane Gustav, and there has been no set time table for when residents will be able to return. Residents will not be allowed inside of the parish until at least Wednesday, if not later.
Orleans is under curfew from dusk until dawn until further notice.
