New Orleans Assisted Evacuation Information

By devindevtaliaferro

The City Assisted Evacuation Plan will be enacted at 8 a.m. today (Saturday, August 30, 2008). Citizens who need assistance evacuating from the city because of financial or other reasons should go to one of 17 pick-up points. They will be transported via RTA buses to the Union Passenger Terminal. Once they are checked in at the UPT, they will be evacuated by bus, train or plan. Each pick-up point has special signage.

Citizens are asked to call 311 or 1-866-205-6485 to register if they need evacuation assistance. It is critically important that those with special medical needs who need assistance in order to leave their homes call 311 or 1-866-205-6485 so that appropriate arrangements can be made for their evacuation.
