Re-Entry Badge Distribution Plan
For future storm events, TEDA in cooperation with Homeland Security and Office of Emergency Preparedness, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, and Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government has been tasked with coordinating re-entry pass distribution to organizations requiring Tier I or Tier II clearance into Terrebonne Parish. The provisions of this plan apply to all hazards requiring evacuation and are designed to promote and facilitate the timely re-entry of essential response and recovery personnel, government officials, property owners, business owners, media, etc, in order to expedite the recovery of Terrebonne Parish and its economy; and to provide uniform guidance following a large-scale disaster to law enforcement personnel who are responsible for permitting access into the impacted areas. The plan clarifies processes and responsibilities in acquiring re-entry badges and re-entry.
The badges are used to determine who can return to the parish if there is major storm damage and the parish needs to limit access for safety reasons.
Distribution Information
