This, when combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, can make us all weary. I implore Louisianans to take their preparations seriously. #lagov #lawx — PolitiTweet.org

Barely two weeks ago, Louisiana suffered a devastating blow when Hurricane Laura came ashore as the strongest hurricane ever to make landfall in Louisiana history, leaving a trail of destruction in its path. #lagov #lawx — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Please stay weather aware for the next several days and heed the directions of your local officials. This storm has the potential to be very serious. #lagov #lawx — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

While we ultimately don’t know where Sally will make landfall, much of Southeast Louisiana is in the storm’s cone and the risk of tropical storm force or hurricane strength winds continues to increase. #lagov #lawx — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I declared a State of Emergency in advance of Tropical Storm Sally, which is forecast to strengthen to a hurricane that could impact Louisiana as early as Monday morning. https://t.co/buDcsF1WmK #lagov #lawx — PolitiTweet.org

As we watch Tropical Depression 19, everyone needs to make sure their game plan is ready, that they continue to monitor their local news and heed warnings of local officials. There’s a lot for Louisianans to watch this weekend and TD 19 needs to be one of them. #lagov #lawx — PolitiTweet.org

Now is the time for everyone to get a gameplan, restock their supplies, stay tuned to their local news and heed the warnings of local officials. We don’t know what the activity in the gulf will bring us, but as always, we must be prepared. #lagov #lawx https://t.co/N4Rjd6izHe — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

That doesn’t mean that there won’t be minor changes, but we are going to see things like the statewide mask mandate and crowd size limits in place for quite some time in our state and also across the nation. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

If we see a spike in cases, we may be forced to go back to a more restrictive Phase 2. I also want people to be realistic, as Phase 3 with perhaps some relatively minor modifications is likely where we stay until a vaccine is widely available. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

There are still some looming factors that could come to bear on the fragile gains that we have made including students returning to schools at all levels, the outcome of the Labor Day weekend and the displacement of thousands of residents by Hurricane Laura. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

That’s why it is incumbent upon all Louisianans to follow the guidance, wear their masks and avoid going out when they are showing symptoms. We all want to see a return to normalcy, but it is going to take all of us working together to get us there.#lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

That said, I want the people of Louisiana to know that moving into Phase 3 does not mean that COVID is no longer a problem for us because in fact it is. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We have seen some improvement in decreased COVID-like illness, new COVID cases and hospitalizations in recent weeks, as our strong mitigation measures are working. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
