The Vermilion Parish Office of Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness (VPOHSEP) is continually working to prepare for potential disasters, which could impact Vermilion Parish, natural or man-made.
This office is responsible for planning for all types of disaster events, emergency operations during the disaster and any mitigation after the event. The Vermilion Parish Office of Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness is also responsible for coordination all Parish and Municipal agencies in an emergency response situations. The VPOHSEP educates these agencies prior to the emergency situation, notifies them of impending or emergency situations and coordinates the necessary activities during and after an event. In such preparation, the VPOHSEP will identify any emergency response areas which the local agencies are not equipped to handle and establish contingency plans to use third parties in these situations. The Vermilion Parish Office of Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness has available Hurricane Tracking Charts and Louisiana Storm Survival Guides.
