Louisiana's Homeland Security &

Emergency Management State Regions


Each of the State's 64 parishes have an emergency management program. Louisiana is divided into nine emergency management and homeland security planning districts which GOHSEP uses in conjunction with its Regional Support program. The map below will assist you in determining who the Regional Director (Parish) is for a particular area and how to contact them. In addition, each district has a state Regional Coordinator (a GOSHEP employee) whom acts as a liaison between the parish emergency operations center (EOC) for their region and the state EOC.

Regional Directors
Each Region is represented by a Regional Director selected from a Parish Emergency Manager or Director, by the Parishes within the particular Region. The  Regional Director provides a leadership role for the Parishes within the Region. They serve as a voice for the Region to raise issues at the State level, providing recommendations to the GOHSEP staff on issues that are pertinent to the Parishes. The Directors work closely with the Regional Coordinators to determine overall strategy for the Region.


 

Regional Coordinators
Each Region is supported by a Regional Coordinator who is a GOHSEP employee. The Coordinators assist their regional Parishes with training and resourcing, provide technical expertise on Homeland Security grants, assist in coordinating State and Local activities within their Region and provide direct support during disaster activations.
