Why Emergency Communication Matters

During an emergency, accurate and timely information can save lives. When an incident occurs, residents need to know what is happening, what actions they should take, and where to find reliable information.

Ascension CAER works with local emergency response and public safety partners to help coordinate emergency communications throughout Ascension Parish. Through trusted communication systems such as Everbridge, verified alerts, protective action recommendations, and important updates can be delivered quickly to residents during an incident.

Effective emergency communication can help reduce confusion and provide residents with clear instructions when every second matters. Whether an event requires sheltering in place, avoiding a specific area, evacuating, or simply remaining informed, having reliable information can help residents respond appropriately.

Ascension CAER works alongside organizations including the Ascension Office of Homeland Security, Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement, fire departments, emergency responders, industry partners, and other community organizations to support coordinated emergency preparedness and communication.

Stay Connected. Stay Informed. Be Prepared.

Residents play an important role in emergency preparedness. Make sure you can receive emergency alerts before an incident occurs. Sign up for Ascension CAER notifications through Everbridge, keep your contact information up to date, and encourage family members and neighbors to do the same.

Don’t wait for an emergency to find out how you’ll receive critical information. Get connected today and stay informed when it matters most.
