SDMI has been working alongside members of @LADeptHealth staff in prep for the launch of the Louisiana Contact Tracing Program. We're committed to providing Louisiana the highest level of support by leveraging all capabilities SDMI and @LSU have to the #COVID-19 response efforts.

[Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov]

Today, we outlined a plan for COVID-19 testing and tracking that would hire as many as 700 Louisianans to serve as “contact tracers,” interviewing and advising people who have tested positive to determine who could also be at risk. #lagov #lalege

In order to plan for severe weather, it’s important to be familiar with the different severe weather threats: Tornadoes, Damaging Wind Gusts, Large Hail, Lightning, and Flooding. #lawx #mswx #MSPrep #SeverePrep

[NWS New Orleans @NWSNewOrleans]

As part of your #SeverePrep, you should know which NWS office issues warnings for your area. Here’s a map of all the offices that cover Louisiana and Mississippi. #lawx #mswx #MSPrep

EBRP will start to experience the effects of TS Gordon beginning at 8:00 PM tonight into Wednesday morning. Our area may experience 40-50 mph tropical storm force gusts. EBRP is forecasted to receive 1-3” of rainfall with locally higher amounts possible. #Gordon #HurricanePrep

[Steve Caparotta, Ph.D. @SteveWAFB]

HRRR indicates potential for hurricane force wind gusts along the MS coast as #Gordon makes landfall tonight. #LAwx #MSwx

[NWS New Orleans @NWSNewOrleans]

We are watching an unorganized tropical wave which may move into the Gulf next week. No development is expected at this time. We remind you we are in the middle of hurricane season, so as always, keep an eye on the tropics. #LAwx #MSwx #HurricaneSeason
