Unified Shelter Plan
The purpose and intent of the Louisiana Unified Shelter Plan (USP) is to identify common terminology and create minimum shelter standards for any location providing sheltering in response to incidents, regardless of the size and scope and to ensure that all citizens of Louisiana seeking shelter have access to shelters that meet safe, secure and sanitary basic requirements.
