The Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) has updated its Get a Game Plan website, www.getagameplan.org. GOHSEP Director Mark Cooper says the overhauled website is now more user-friendly and more comprehensive regarding its content. The website has links to evacuation guides, Public Service Announcements (the newest ones feature Governor Bobby Jindal and New Orleans Saints players Marques Colston, Devery Henderson and Lance Moore), and information in Spanish.

Also, GOHSEP is using Twitter, a social networking tool, to send brief messages to users primarily in the event of an emergency. Sign up to follow GOHSEP on Twitter by logging onto www.ohsep.louisiana.gov, http://www.getagameplan.org or you can go to http://www.twitter.com/gohsep.

“More and more people are turning to alternative methods to get information and news. This is just our way of staying in touch with people and making sure they get the information they need to keep them and their families safe,” says Cooper.
