Friends,
As we recover from the Storm which has caused damage to our fair parish, We are now tasked with clean up and repairs. So as to help our people, I have requested 2 Public Damage Assessment/ Individual Assessment teams from GOHSEP. These teams will be deployed to the Allen Parish Sheriff's Office and then out to the damage areas. They will assist in evaluating the damage to your residence or property for the emergency declaration made by the State of Louisiana. Once we have the information on the teams, We will publish a contact point and phone number to get these teams to your area.
In the meantime, If you call or text 211 on your phone , the service will give you information on where to report your damage to until we can get the assessment teams in place. BE SAFE AND GOD BLESS!!
