Hopefully it won't come to this, but if a mandatory evacuation order is issued during the COVID-19 pandemic — you must leave. The immediate threat to life from a major hurricane is more severe than the potential of virus exposure.
We know our residents are concerned about exposing themselves to COVID-19 during evacuation — but, there are ways to protect yourself. To the greatest extent possible, do the following while evacuated:
- Practice social distancing — stay at least 6 feet away from other people
- Wear face coverings
- Wash your hands often and use hand sanitizer during transit
- Disinfect high-touch surfaces regularly
Thank you, New Orleans — and stay safe!
