The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), composed of every major parish industry, in conjunction with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) began working on a project in April to reach every St. John the Baptist Parish student and instruct them on the proper way to Shelter-In-Place.
The program includes a seven-and-a-half minute instructional video, starring nine local students who attend East St. John High, West St. John High, St. Charles Catholic, Ascension of Our Lord and St. James High School.
