Good Afternoon Emergency Management Partners,
As we quickly approach hurricane season, we want to ensure we provide the necessary tools for emergency operations. Effective immediately, Region 2 Parish Offices of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (OHSEP) are no longer using the Capital Area Ready (CAR) credentialing system (www.capitalareaready.com). Moving forward, Region 2 Parishes should follow standard, post-disaster re-entry credentialing recommendations. The following documentation is now recommended:
- Provide a business letter on company letterhead stating the following:
- Name of employee seeking re-entry,
- Driver’s license number (you must have your driver’s license available for viewing),
- Description of vehicle being driven,
- Company identification (you must have your company identification available for viewing, this could be a company ID card), and
- Contact information for the manager of the employee.
Emergency management partners are no longer required to log into the CAR system annually to obtain placards; personnel requiring post-disaster re-entry should follow the above recommendations.
Questions should be directed to your Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.
Thank you,
Region 2 Parish OHSEPs
