BATON ROUGE, La. — Two tropical weather systems are headed toward the Gulf of Mexico and possibly Louisiana’s coast, prompting Gov. John Bel Edwards to declare a state of emergency.
Edwards said Friday that his order allows the state to help local governments as they begin preparing for the potential landfall of Tropical Depression 14 and Tropical Storm Laura.
Edwards urged families to begin checking their emergency supplies and to make sure they include enough to sustain each family member for at least three days.
