KNOW THE RISK
East Baton Rouge Parish is vulnerable to a wide range of potential hazards. While natural disasters cannot be prevented from occurring, the continued implementation of mitigation will gradually, but steadily, make the community more sustainable and disaster-resilient.
As the risk landscape for East Baton Rouge Parish evolves to include new and worsening threats, The Mayor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness continues to adapt and advance emergency planning, training, and exercise programs to enhance the Parish’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from these novel challenges.
