Shelter Open: 2-19-2021

From Mayor Sharon Weston Broome:

"East Baton Rouge Parish is no longer under any watches or warnings but we are still dealing with a significant amount of power outages that has put many residents without electricity for over 48 hours," said Mayor Sharon Weston Broome. "At this time we are also opening a shelter of last resort for anyone that needs to get out of the cold."

The shelter is a partnership with BREC and the American Red Cross and will open at 7 p.m. Wednesday at BREC Nairn Park. A second facility is on standby. Everyone are required to bring their own masks and wear them at all times.
