The Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness began sending assistance teams Tuesday to assess damage caused by the storms that moved through south Louisiana on Monday night. Iberia, St. John the Baptist and Assumption parishes issued emergency declarations; at least 200 homes and businesses were affected by flooding, the state says. The assessments by the review teams will determine whether GOHSEP will recommend an emergency declaration by the state.
