The White House
Since the horrific attack conducted by a homegrown violent extremist inspired by ISIS took place in New Orleans on January 1, President Biden has directed his team to provide every possible resource to support the state and local response, as well as the victims and their families. The President and members of the Administration have been in contact with the Governor of Louisiana, the Mayor of New Orleans, and other state and local officials to ensure they have the resources and support they need in the wake of this attack.
Today, the President is committing additional federal resources to help the city of New Orleans prepare for upcoming major events including Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl.
- The Mardi Gras parades and certain related events occurring in New Orleans from February 21 to March 4 have been upgraded to a Special Event Assessment Rating of 1 (SEAR 1). Super Bowl LIX is also a SEAR 1 event. The Biden-Harris Administration has determined that these significant events require extensive federal interagency support, and will use every tool available to fill local capability shortfalls to assure safe and secure events.
