Citizen Update, 9-5-08, 4 p.m.A post-Gustav update from Mayor Ben Morris
• FINAL STORM DEBRIS SWEEP UNDER WAY EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE INFORMATION • IKE PROBLEMS IN ST. TAMMANYHeavy winds lash St. Tammany. Rising tide threatens low-lying areas.
> STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED IN PARISH Update from Mayor Morris - 9/12/08, 8:30 p.m. The city is currently experiencing widespread flooding in low-lying areas as a result of the storm surge created by Hurricane Ike. As officials had anticipated, Palm Lake Subdivision and Camellia Drive are flooded, and many of that area’s residents are being evacuated from their homes by boat. It’s a reality that numbs the weary residents who are still working to recover from the flooding caused by Hurricane Gustav just a week ago.
The evacuation efforts will continue through the night until all residents who did not heed the voluntary evacuation requests have been removed from their residences, says Slidell Mayor Ben Morris.
For more information, read the full press release.
• WE DON'T LIKE IKE! Update from Mayor Morris, 9/13/08, 3 p.m.Mayor Morris has provided the following updates as to Slidell’s current status:
The breach in the levee behind First Baptist Church on Pontchartrain Drive is being closed.
Palm Lake Subdivision and Camellia Drive are still closed due to street flooding. Residents have used kayaks and flatboats to access their homes.
Chamale Cove streets remain flooded as well. The roads are currently navigable by trucks only. Drivers are asked to proceed slowly so as not to cause a wake and increase the possibility of home flooding.
The public boat launch at Heritage Park is still underwater, as is the access roadway in front of the launch.
It appears the water is finally receding, so these conditions may change before day’s end.

Slidell Sandbag Locations Announced for TS Bonnie Sandbag locations opened in preparation for TD5City officials are taking precautionary measures to minimize the impact of Tropical Depression 5, which is currently in the Gulf of New Mexico. While at present, minimal effect is anticipated, sandbag locations will be opened to provide residents and businesses in flood-prone areas an opportunity to take necessary measures to protect their properties. All pump stations will be monitored throughout the storm.
