Below is the Governor's letter to the federal government:
excerpt:

As of this morning, I have activated 4,126 Louisiana National Guardsmen, an emergency contract for over 300 commercial buses, and over 5,000 shelter spaces to respond to the wide ranging projected path of this storm, move our citizens out of harm's way and provide them with shelter. The school districts in the path of the storm have cancelled school until this dangerous storm passes.
