St. Tammany Parish is higher ground on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, but areas near the lake, the Tchefuncte and Bogue Falaya rivers and around Slidell have flooded in past storms; federal rules require every certified nursing home to keep an emergency plan with evacuation and shelter-in-place procedures and an emergency power plan, so ask where residents went during the last evacuation.
