Section XXI-307 - Parish Risk Assessment

A. The parish risk assessment shall consist of a survey of the people living outside the corporate limits of any municipality to identify the people in the each category of the at-risk population defined herein and the essential workers as defined herein, and to determine whether the individuals so identified may need sheltering in a general population shelter or a special needs shelter as those terms are defined by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.

B. To the greatest extent possible, the parish risk assessment should be based upon reliable sources of information such as the most current U.S. Census data, historical seasonal tourism estimates, average population of hospital and nursing home residents, and numbers of anticipated essential workers responding to an incident.
