Gov. Bobby Jindal has declared a state
of emergency in Louisiana ahead of Hurricane Ida.
The declaration is considered a precaution allowing for state
resources to be used for emergency or disaster situations.
Officials say the Louisiana National Guard and state Wildlife and
Fisheries have been placed on high alert, with equipment and
personnel available if necessary. State troopers in southeast
Louisiana are also on alert.
Coastal stretches of southeast Louisiana, particularly areas
outside levee protection, are the main concern. Forecasts indicate
those areas could see winds, rains and high tides that could create
localized flooding.
Ida was a Category 2 storm Sunday as it began moving across the
Gulf of Mexico.
