## Resource

Tropical Storm Arthur is unleashing serious flood threats across Jefferson and Orleans parishes, forcing the cancellation of all summer programs and camps in Jefferson Parish schools for Thursday. Flash flooding remains the top concern as officials scramble to monitor rapidly shifting conditions. New Orleans is deploying advanced tech—including cameras and pump station sensors—to track water levels and prepare rescue assets like boats and trucks in high-risk zones. First responders are urging residents to avoid flooded roads entirely, as their safety is paramount. The Louisiana DOT is clearing drains and erecting barricades along vulnerable corridors like Franklin and Orleans Avenues. Meanwhile, Orleans Civil District Court is closed through the week, and the City Council meeting has been rescheduled to next Wednesday.
