| Mission Statement The mission of the Ascension Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency
Preparedness is to serve the citizens of the Parish through effective planning for natural
and man-made disasters. Our goal is to save lives and to protect property through the
coordination of an integrated emergency management system with all emergency response
organizations, support services and volunteers. We will be an advocate for greater
community efforts, including educating the general public to mitigate and prepare for
potential emergencies. We will support efforts to train and exercise emergency responders
in both the public and private sectors. We will manage and coordinate efforts toward a
rapid recovery from disasters with an effective disaster assistance program. This office
will be the point of distribution of Homeland Security information and intelligence to
agencies throughout the parish. We are committed to effective actions designed to prevent
some disasters and to reduce the impact of those over which we have no control. |
