Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says he's considering skipping his speaking engagement at Republican National Convention because of Tropical Storm Isaac. 
  
 Jindal said at a news conference Sunday afternoon that he wouldn't leave his state while it's threatened by the storm. Around the time he spoke, a hurricane warning was issued for parts of the state east of Morgan City, which includes the New Orleans area. 
  
 He also called a state of emergency in Louisiana and suggested that people leave low-lying parts of coastal parishes. 
  
 Isaac is expected to be a strong Category 2 hurricane when it comes ashore along the Gulf Coast late Tuesday or Wednesday. Wednesday is the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. ||||| 4 years ago 
  
 (CNN) – Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is staying in his home state for now as Tropical Storm Isaac heads towards New Orleans. 
  
 The two-term governor was to arrive in Tampa on Tuesday to address the delegates of Republican National Convention that evening. Instead of preparing for his high-profile speech, he declared a state of emergency Sunday and asked for voluntary evacuations in 15 low-lying parishes on or near the Gulf Coast.

 "My priority is the safety of our people. And certainly as this storm threatens the public safety here in Louisiana, I'm not going anywhere," Jindal said at a news conference. "As long as we're in harms way, I need to be right here doing my job and that's what I'm going to be doing." 
  
 Under the RNC's new revised schedule, Jindal is expected to speak Wednesday night should he attend the convention. 
  
 Jindal isn't the only member of the Louisiana delegation not attending the convention. Jefferson Parish President John Young canceled his plans due to the potential impact Isaac could have on his constituents. State Rep, Lenar Whitney and New Orleans public service commission member Eric Skrmetta are currently driving back to Louisiana as well. 
  
 Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus announced Saturday night that all programs for Monday, the first day of the convention, were canceled. 
  
 Back in 2008, Jindal had to cancel his attendance and speech at the GOP convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to nominate John McCain due to Hurricane Gustav. 
  
 Not willing to take any risks in an area that has been severely affected by these storms in the past, Jindal sought to prepare residents in southern Louisiana for the heavy winds and 12 to 16 inches of rainfall expected to start hitting the coast as early as Sunday night. 
  
 "There's really nothing that's going to stop this storm from forming and strengthening," Jindal said. "I think it's much better to be prepared for the worst, even as we hope for the best."

With Tropical Storm Isaac headed for the Gulf Coast, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency today and said he has no plans to attend the GOP convention, CNN reports. "My priority is the safety of our people," Jindal said. "And certainly as this storm threatens the public safety here in Louisiana, I'm not going anywhere." Jindal is expected to speak Wednesday evening if he attends. But Isaac is forecast to be a Category 2 hurricane when it reaches the Gulf Coast Tuesday or Wednesday, the AP reports. Twelve to 16 inches of rain and strong winds are already expected along the coast as soon as tonight, and Jindal has asked 15 low-lying parishes in the initial danger zone to voluntarily evacuate. The governor also failed to make the 2008 Republican convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, because of Hurricane Gustav.
