Identify boarding facilities, veterinarians, or hotels outside of the affected
areas that can accept your pets. If you have notice of an impending disaster, call ahead for reservations.
Pet-friendly shelters may be opened during an this information will be available
at shelter information points.
Create a disaster readiness kit for you pet including food, water, first aid
supplies, feeding dishes, leashes, carrier, blanket, medications, etc..
Make sure all family members are aware of these preparations.
The Jefferson Transit "JeT" System will maintain regular bus services until the Parish is placed under an Emergency Declaration by the Parish President. At that time the regularly scheduled routes will continue to operate but with a reduced number of buses.
Buses will still run along the regularly established routes but will be for our residents who have no other means of transportation available to them. Riders will be taken to shelters designated in our Parish or to State-designated shelters outside of Jefferson Parish.
As conditions warrant regular bus service will cease and only evacuation buses will be on the routes.
