SLPG to Open Last Resort Shelter Ahead of TS Francine
OPELOUSAS, LA – In preparation for Tropical Storm Francine, St. Landry Parish Government
will open a Last Resort Shelter for residents concerned about their safety. The shelter will be
located at the Yambilee Building, 1939 West Landry Street, Opelousas, LA, and will open at
6:00 AM on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
Residents are encouraged to check with family or friends for shelter alternatives if they are
concerned about flooding, as the Last Resort Shelter should be used only if no other
options are available.
If you plan to stay at the shelter, please bring any necessary personal items, including:
● Blankets
● Medications
● Hygiene products
● Other essentials for the night
This shelter is intended as a last resort option, and space is limited. We urge residents to
prioritize staying with friends or relatives if possible.
