LAPLACE — St. John the Baptist Parish Government officials are asking owners or managers of businesses that sustained physical or economic loss due to Tuesday’s tornado to complete an Emergency Response Survey.

Parish officials said the information will assist St. John Parish, state and federal officials in determining what additional resources are needed to help each case’s full recovery.

Those who take the survey may receive a phone call or visit from a representative requesting additional responses.

The survey takes about two minutes to complete by phone or in person. Those interested can complete the survey online at sjbparish.com/tornado.php.

Resource Center

The St. John the Baptist Parish Business Resource Center will provide a “one-stop shop” for impacted businesses, employees and homeowners to receive in-person recovery assistance.

A dedicated team of resource providers including, Louisiana Small Business Development Center (LSBDC), South Central Planning and Development Commission (SCPDC), U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Louisiana Workforce Commission and Louisiana Federal Credit Union will assist those impacted in obtaining business continuity planning, business loans, unemployment insurance, home retention services and personal emergency loans.

All services will be free of charge.

The center will open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the River Region Chamber of Commerce, 390 Belle Terre Blvd. in LaPlace.
