Christopher Homes encourages all of our residents to be prepared for Hurricane Season. Our communities host meetings with local government agencies to ensure that our residents have all necessary information. Below is information on planning for hurricane season, along with details by parish.

The Governor's Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness provides resources and recommendations through their Get A Game Plan website and app: https://www.getagameplan.org/. Download the state's Emergency Guide here.

Jefferson Parish has implemented JPAlert to let people know of possible emergencies. You can sign up here: JPAlert System or by calling (504)349-5360. Those needing assistance evacuating are encourage to listen for a publicized phone number issued at the time of a mandatory evacuation. For other details and tips from Jefferson Parish, download their Hurricane Preparedness Brochure.

If you can’t evacuate on your own during a mandatory evacuation, the City of New Orleans can help. City-assisted evacuation provides free transportation out of harm's way. Text EVACNOLA to 77295 if you might need to use City-assisted evacuation. The City of New Orleans will text you information if there is a mandatory evacuation.
