Jefferson, La. -(WGNO)- All Jefferson Parish Departments will close today at 2:00pm due to possible severe weather reported by the National Weather Service.
Jefferson Parish Drainage Pump Stations staff and Public Works crews are available for the duration of this anticipated weather.
Citizens are asked to help reduce the chance of street flooding by clearing debris from their streets and drains around their property when it is safe to do so; such debris impedes water flow into the drainage system.
Parish Ordinance Section 36-188 prohibits motorists from traveling on flooded streets, which may increase the possibility of structural flooding due to wake action caused by moving vehicles.
Jefferson Parish Emergency Management will continue to monitor weather conditions.
