Concordia Parish Schools: Superintendent Loretta Blankenstein said Tuesday Parish school district authorities will decide today if changes will be made in the school district’s schedule.

Heritage Manor Nursing Center in Ferriday: Eddie Crow said the center plans to meet Thursday morning at the facility to decide if and when to evacuate, and who’s going where.  They are in touch with the CPSO and local civil defense, which is keeping them posted so they’ll have ample notice of evacuation needs. They’re in a state of readiness, and are prepared to split people between three difference facilities: two in Natchez and one in McComb.

Camelot Leisure Living (Ferriday): Administrator Tommy Massey said they’re planning to have everyone evacuated by Thursday or Friday at the latest. They have a sister facility in Farmerville that they’re going to move everyone to.
