Well once again here we are.

Here's your latest parish-by-parish reentry info.

ORLEANS

Reentry: Announcement expected today.

Roadblocks have been set up...


As helpful as that isn't, this is even more fun.

JEFFERSON: Those with Tier 1 and Tier 2 placards are allowed back starting at noon today. Those are first responders and business owners who received reentry placards from the parish.

Parish President Aaron Broussard will make announcement at 5 p.m. today about return guidelines for other residents. If you are two days drive away, he suggests to begin repositioning yourself to within a one day drive back to the parish.


Never mind the "tiers". What happens if I am not found to be "repositioned" properly? Am I penalized for a false start?

Update: More bullshit from Orleans here. Here are your "Tiers":

City officials started allowing essential recovery workers back into the city Tuesday morning, she said. Categorized as Tier 1 under the city's re-entry plan, the group includes first responders, hospital and utility workers, government contractors and subcontractors that provide critical services and volunteer rescue and response organizations.

The city is still working on logistics with the state to bring home residents who left town on state-chartered buses through the city's free evacuation program, she said. That process should happen before week's end, she said.

The city likely will open Wednesday morning to Tier 2 workers, including employees of building supply companies, medical supply companies and financial institutions, Quiett said. Tier 3 personnel, including gas station operators, grocers and other retailers could get in by Wednesday afternoon, she said.

Quiett stressed that residents not carrying placards issued by the city to companies and organizations that requested priority reentry will not be allowed beyond checkpoints being manned at all roads into the city by Louisiana National Guard soldiers and state troopers.
When was this ridiculous system publicized? Is it even legal? At least those of us familiar with the way anything in the city operates can rest assured that it is not being implemented very effectively. If I weren't tired of driving I'd be on the way home now. I'm going back tomorrow.
