Assumption Parish has issued a No Burn Policy. This will mean that residents will not be allowed to have open fires of any type including burning of trash or any debris until further notice.
It has been confirmed that Assumption Parish will be out of electrical service for at least 4-6 weeks. The main transmission and trunk lines from Napoleonville to Raceland have been destroyed and must be totally reconstructed. In addition, there are several poles and lines down along the roadside throughout the parish that must be repaired and/or replaced. Currently, there are no issues with the gas lines and water service throughout the parish. The gas and water WILL NOT be turned off.
We have been informed that the following facilities are partially up and running with generator service attempting to provide basic essentials to our residents:
Bayou L’Ourse Supermarket
Bolotte’s Food Mart
Conoco Station in Labadieville
Pic’s Pit Stop
Payless Grocery Store
Plattenville Shell
Pierre Part Store
Stazione’s
A Point of Distribution has been set up at the Lucky Hit Shopping Center. Currently, they are dispensing water and MREs. Tarps and ice have not arrived yet. Alternate sites will be set up around the 2 o’clock hour at St. Philomena Church in Labadieville and St. Joseph Church in Pierre Part. Quantities are limited and demand is high. Please be patient.
All Assumption Parish Parochial and Public Schools will be closed until further notice. School will not start until power is fully restored throughout the parish.
