The primary purpose of the Post-Disaster Phased Re-Entry Plan procedure is to facilitate public safety and security in the event of a natural or man-made disaster where an official Emergency Declaration and Mandatory Evacuation Order has been issued and remains in effect.
Where an official Emergency Declaration and Mandatory Evacuation Order has been made by the Mayor of the City of New Orleans and remains in effect, re-entry of businesses and the public will be permitted based on an assessment by Emergency Preparedness officials of the threat to public safety and security and the availability of sustainable living conditions.
All personnel granted access under Tier 1 or 2 must be self sustaining (food, water, medical supplies and secure quarters) and prepared to comply with movement and curfew restrictions issued by the Mayor and/or his designee.
TIER 1 - Response Support: individuals/agencies that provide critical services to assist First Responders in execution of their duties and those in direct support of critical infrastructure.
TIER 2 - Recovery Support: core assessment teams of major employers or businesses deem to be essential to the future return of residents or the economic vitality of the Parish.
Approval for a re-entry access placard is based on qualifying under pre-determined prioritized and sequenced tiers for re-entry. Any false or inaccurate information provided in this application may be grounds for automatic refusal and subject the applicant to civil and criminal penalties.
