Emergency Preparedness

Touro has plans in place to ensure the safety of our patients and staff before, during, and after a severe weather event occurs. When a tropical storm or hurricane threatens New Orleans, Touro will activate its emergency plan to provide patients, their family members, and staff with up-to-date information regarding our preparations, announcements about closing and reopening facilities, and other relevant instructions. Facility safeguards are securely in place, such as back-up power sources, fuel, facility flood prevention, and emergency communication devices, to maintain our facilities ability to operate in the event of a hurricane.
