What is the LABEOC?
The LABEOC is led by the National Incident Management Systems and Advanced Technologies Institute, a division of the Informatics Research Institute at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, with support from partners Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness and Louisiana Economic Development. The LABEOC Network is a collaboration among Louisiana’s public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
The LABEOC is Louisiana’s emergency operations center dedicated to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for businesses. It facilitates communication with the state’s major economic driver industries, as well as owners and operators of critical infrastructures and key resources, to enhance Louisiana’s emergency management efforts.
The LABEOC supports and coordinates private sector involvement during a time of crisis. The result is a more resilient Louisiana.

Why should I join the LABEOC Network?
- Receive immediate notification of state and parish decisions that may affect your business. These notifications (evacuation, road closure, etc.) are pertinent to your business disaster plan and employee safety. Rather than searching for information online or in other forms of media, the most up-to-date information is listed in one place.
- Receive notification of emerging state needs. As needs arise during the response and recovery from an emergency, you can receive alerts as a business, nonprofit, government agency, or concerned citizen. These notifications are designed to engage businesses throughout the state to stimulate our economy.
- Situational Awareness. We may ask you to report post-storm status, recovery needs, readiness to participate, economic impact, or supply chain demands. By gauging the situational awareness of local businesses, officials can make informed decisions and avoid duplication or conflict of efforts from different sectors.
