Beauregard: No burning, trash pickup or FEMA

There's a burn ban in Beauregard Parish, a dusk-to-dawn curfew in DeRidder and sporadic water service in rural areas of the parish, says Robert L. McCullough Jr. of Beauregard Incident Command.

Trash and debris pickup is not in service.

South Beauregard and Merryville water systems are under repair.

Parish schools are closed at least this week -- except for those which get power back.

There are no FEMA reps in the parish. People can get help from the Red Cross, which is present at some shelters or available toll-free at 1-888-GET-INFO.

The Office of Community Services is closed this week. People can call 1-800-348-KIDS for help or local law enforcement for abuse reports.
