Jefferson Parish straddles the river, with the East Bank behind the lakefront levees and the West Bank closer to the coastal marsh, so evacuation calls can differ between the two banks; federal rules require every certified nursing home to keep an emergency plan with evacuation and shelter-in-place procedures and an emergency power plan, so ask where residents went during the last evacuation.
