911 service back in Orleans, Jefferson, out in other parishes

For various reasons the emergency 911 service is not functioning currently in either parish.

NEW ORLEANS —

JEFFERSON

Jefferson Parish's 9-1-1 services have been restored. Emergency calls should be directed there. 

Unfortunately, the parish's administrative line, which was what they used to route emergency calls while 9-1-1 was down, has itself experienced an outage. It's unclear when that outage will clear up.

Everyone is asked to stay home and NOT venture onto the roads unless it is absolutely necessary. Many roads are blocked by downed trees and other debris and all traffic signals are not functioning.

LAFOURCHE

Cell Service and phone lines are down, including 911. If you have an emergency, you can call one of the numbers below for EMERGENCIES ONLY!

Both the 9-1-1 and non-emergency lines of communication with first responders are down Monday morning. The sheriff's office says they are working to restore service, but didn't provide any kind of estimated timeframe for restoration. 

St. Bernard

The St. Bernard Sheriff's Office's 911 and non-emergency phone lines are both down due to cell service outages in Hurricane Ida's wake. 

Residents who need emergency services can call one of these three numbers: 

(504) 579-4888
