At 7 a.m., President Matthew Jewell has rescinded the mandatory evacuation order.
Residents returning to the parish should continue to use caution on the roads as there are debris and power lines on the shoulders of many roads.
Residents should bring enough supplies to sustain themselves for a week, including water, ice, food, and fuel, as power restoration is expected to take up to 4-6 weeks.
Resources regarding open businesses in the parish and recovering can be found at www.stcharlesparish.gov/ida.
