CITY OF GRETNA 
From the Desk of the Mayor

The elected officials of the City of Gretna have been working in concert with Jefferson Parish for the last 36 hours to ensure the safety of our residents. While some have heeded warning and have decided to evacuate, we do realize that some have chosen to shelter in place. Please understand that emergency resources will not be available during the course of Hurricane Ida. City services remain in place during this time, however our Streets Department is limited in what they are capable of accomplishing throughout the duration of this storm. It is our intention to resume the regular course of work as soon as possible. All city departments, including the Gretna Police Department and the David Crockett Fire Department, are prepared and stand ready for this storm.
