HURRICANE
PREPAREDNESS
The best time to prepare for a hurricane is before it
enters the Gulf of Mexico. Ferncrest is actively
preparing for the season. We will be having daily
meetings once a hurricane enters the Gulf of Mexico. The
best preparation we at Ferncrest can do is to inform you
and your loved ones of our plans.
If a hurricane threatens Eastern New Orleans and the Mayor and/or
Department of Health & Hospitals implement a "MANDATORY"
evacuation we will leave the immediate area by bus to Robert, where
we will stay until the evacuation orders are lifted.
To keep you informed we will post information on our
website:
http://www.ferncrest.com/stormupdate.htm
Which will include important phone numbers to key
staff and directions and phone number to the facility we
are going to. We will also enter changes/information in
the monthly news letters so please read it carefully.
We ask for your assistance to provide one of our Social Worker
(Rhonda Lewis, Yvette Taylor or Jake Roger at 504-246-1426) with
a current cell phone number to update our list. If you don’t have
a cell phone number then we request a family contact out of the
New Orleans area to call in case you need to be contacted.
If you want to pick up your family member incase of a evacuation,
we also need you to discuss this plan with the Social Worker (Rhonda
Lewis, Yvette Taylor or Jake Roger at 504-246-1426).
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and we
hope this hurricane season is as calm as last year, but
if not we want you to know your loved ones safety is our
utmost priority.
