Do you have products or services that the state needs?
Register with the LA BEOC to let the state know about your products or services (click here to register). By registering and completing a company profile, you can describe the products and services your company offers and how your company is positioned to assist the state during a disaster. The LA BEOC assists in making connections between businesses and state agencies. Please do not contact us for sales, or to arrange product demonstrations, or to discuss your particular products or services. We do not evaluate specific products and services nor do we accept solicitations. Your registration and profile information is collected and forwarded to the Louisiana Division of Administration (DOA), which will evaluate your products and services based on need. Please make sure you are also registered with the DOA (click here for DOA page). No governmental agency can guarantee the utilization of any business during an activation of the LA BEOC.


What is the LA BEOC?
The Louisiana Business Emergency Operations Center (LA BEOC) is a joint partnership between Louisiana Economic Development (LED), the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), the National Incident Management Systems & Advanced Technologies (NIMSAT) Institute at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Stephenson Disaster Management Institute (SDMI) at Louisiana State University.

The LA BEOC supports the coordination of activities and resources of businesses and volunteer organizations in Louisiana and across the nation to improve response and self-sufficiency, reduce reliance on FEMA and other federal assistance in order to maximize business, industry and economic stabilization, returning the business environment to normal operations as quickly as possible.

The LA BEOC will work with businesses to improve their disaster preparedness; improve communication with business and industry before, during and after disaster events; rapidly develop sound economic-impact estimates to support decision making and requests for business assistance; coordinate response efforts to assist businesses in their efforts to return to normal operations as quickly as possible; and help coordinate post disaster economic recovery.
