PSA‼️ Tropical Storm Francine Update - Hurricane Preparedness

Opelousas is taking proactive steps as Tropical Storm Francine is now projected to become a Category 2 Hurricane.

Here's what we're doing:
• Clearing debris from road crossings and drainage channels.
• Ensuring generators are ready at water and sewer facilities.
• Working with contractors to secure job sites and minimize potential debris.

We Need Your Help, Too
• Secure loose objects around your property, including trampolines.
• Remove debris from near catch basins.

• Sandbags: St. Landry Parish has a sandbag site at the Yambilee Building open until 7pm today and from 8am-7pm on Tuesday. Bring your own shovel and help.

• Do NOT place any branches or yard debris curbside until AFTER the storm.

Remember: Hurricane preparedness is year-round. Stay alert and have an emergency plan in place, including for potential power outages.
We'll continue to provide updates as the situation develops.


Please take every precaution necessary and stay safe.
