Located next to the City of New Orleans and stretching from Lake Pontchartrain to the Gulf of Mexico, Jefferson Parish is the most populous parish in the Greater New Orleans region. In order to stay on top of the devastating catastrophic storms and hurricanes known in the region, the Jefferson Parish Emergency Operations Center turned to ZeeVee SDVoE technology to update and enhance its video distribution system.
Historically, Jefferson Parish has survived through several powerful storms and hurricanes. The Jefferson Parish Emergency Management Department—which operates out of the Jefferson Parish Emergency Operations Center—is responsible for providing emergency management planning for major emergencies, such as hurricanes, floods, storms, and other natural disasters while providing emergency management coordination and guidance during major emergencies to ensure the continued safety of citizens and visitors. If an emergency occurs, it is the Jefferson Parish Emergency Management Department’s responsibility to respond timely and efficiently; therefore, the Jefferson Parish Emergency Operations Center is a mission-critical environment requiring the latest and most reliable technology.
