PUBLIC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

PUBLIC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT HAMMOND — Tangipahoa Parish Government (TPG), in partnership with the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness and the Stephenson Disaster Management Institute at Louisiana State University (SDMI), invites residents and stakeholders to attend the sixth and final public meeting for the 2026 Tangipahoa Parish Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The meeting will take place on Monday, June 8, 2026, at 1:30 PM at the Tangipahoa Parish Government Complex, located at 15485 W. Club Deluxe Rd, Hammond, LA 70403. During this meeting, SDMI will present the final draft of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, including an overview of the planning process, the parish risk assessment, and the mitigation actions proposed to reduce long-term risks from natural hazards across Tangipahoa Parish. The draft plan reflects months of collaboration between parish officials, participating municipalities, partner agencies, and the public. This meeting represents the final opportunity for residents and stakeholders to review the draft plan and provide input before the plan is submitted to the State of Louisiana and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for formal approval. Public participation has been a critical component throughout the planning process, and feedback from the community helps ensure the plan reflects the priorities, concerns, and needs of Tangipahoa Parish residents. Residents are strongly encouraged to attend and learn more about the hazards facing the parish and the actions being proposed to strengthen community resilience and reduce future disaster impacts.
