SHREVEPORT, La. -- Winter storm conditions worsened today in Caddo Parish leaving more trouble behind for residents and city/parish leaders.
Deteriorating road conditions, property damage, shelters, and broken water mains are among the most pressing issues currently being addressed by officials responsible for local emergency and disaster response.
Law enforcement continues to respond to a large number of calls for medical emergencies, stranded motorists, and traffic accidents. Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator, who serves as director of the Caddo Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said motorists should stay off the roadways for their own protection and to lessen demands on first responders.
