To meet the changing needs of the hurricane-affected areas, a series of mission zones - or cooperative parishes - were established. In 2007, the original seven parishes in the New Orleans area were changed to three by area (Cross Town, East, West).   There is also a mission zone in southwestern Louisiana in the area affected by Hurricane Rita.
