Jefferson Parish Emergency Management is seeking volunteers to assist with hurricane evacuation exercise on April 13, 2026.
For those interested in being a volunteer for this year’s exercise, you must fill out two online forms:
Volunteer Registration Form: https://www.jeffparish.gov/FormCenter/2026-Hurricane-Exercise-19/Volunteer-Registration-Form-69
Release and Waiver of Rights Agreement Form (Volunteers Under 18): https://www.jeffparish.gov/FormCenter/2026-Hurricane-Exercise-19/Release-and-Waiver-of-Rights-Agreement-V-70
Release and Waiver of Rights Agreement Form (Volunteers Over 18): https://www.jeffparish.gov/FormCenter/2026-Hurricane-Exercise-19/Release-and-Waiver-of-Rights-Agreement-V-71
All volunteers are asked to report to their selected location — the North Kenner Library (603 West Esplanade Avenue, Kenner, LA 70065) or the John Alario Sports Complex (11080 Nicolle Boulevard, Westwego, LA 70094) — by 12:30 pm on April 13, where they will receive instructions for the exercise. Volunteers will then board a Jefferson Parish Transit bus where they will be transported to an evacuation site and registered for the evacuation (please note this may occur multiple times). Afterwards, volunteers will be transported back to the staging location.
Volunteers who speak multiple languages, non-English speakers, and individuals requiring wheelchairs, walkers and power chairs are welcome and will be assisted appropriately. Participants should bring all necessary portable transportation or medical devices. Volunteers are also encouraged to bring their children, dogs on leashes, cats in carriers, strollers and luggage. Some volunteers will act as themselves during the registration process, while others will pretend to be someone else based on the scripts distributed at the staging area.
