The Bossier Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (BOHSEP) hosted the 2026 Louisiana Bankers Association Emergency Preparedness Meeting at its office earlier today.

The annual meeting, coordinated by the Louisiana Bankers Association and requested by Education Administrative Assistant Kim Brown, rotates between Bossier and Caddo parishes. The two-hour session brought together representatives from financial institutions, regulators, emergency personnel, law enforcement, the National Weather Service, and armored carriers.

According to BOHSEP Director Ian Snellgrove, 15 attendees participated in the meeting, focusing on strengthening preparedness and coordination across multiple sectors.

Presenters for this year’s meeting included the National Weather Service, the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions, and BOHSEP. Snellgrove said continued collaboration among agencies and organizations plays a key role in ensuring the community remains prepared for potential emergencies.
