TANGIPAHOA PARISH

Welcome to Tangipahoa! We are home to approximately 130,000 happy residents and enjoy welcoming new families and businesses to our parish. We believe in a customer service mindset encouraging everyone here to be hospitable, welcoming and helpful.

Below you will find a list of helpful resources that any resident may be in need of during an emergency. Please know that in the time of an emergency, there is a red banner across the top of the homepage of the tangipahoa.org website with a link that will take you to a page dedicated to all emergency related updates.

When an emergency is declared, often the “Emergency Operations Center” (EOC) https:// tangipahoa.org/government/emergencypreparedness/about-the-EOC is activated. This is a world-class, state-of-the-art facility designed to provide a centralized location for all responder agencies in the Parish to gather and provide a coordinated response in times of emergency.
