Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government is working hard to prepare for the anticipated severe cold temperatures.

WARMING SHELTER
To ensure that all residents have access to safe, warm lodging during this weather event, TPCG will open a warming shelter for residents in need. The shelter will be located at the Houma Municipal Auditorium, 880 Verret Street and will open on Monday, January 15, 2024, at 2 p.m. It will remain open until the severe weather is no longer a threat to Terrebonne Parish residents.

• Pack appropriately:
  Residents should bring their own food, water, and bedding. Additionally, residents are encouraged to bring personal necessities such as clothing, medication/medical supplies, phone chargers, personal hygiene products, and comfort items (books, games, etc.).

• If you have a pet:
  Pets are allowed at the shelter only if they are on a leash or in a kennel. Pet owners are required to bring their own pet food and bowls.
