St. Tammany Parish, a community north of New Orleans on Lake Pontchartrain, on Saturday ordered the mandatory evacuation of hundreds of residents, saying the failure of a lock along a canal was "imminent."

Parish officials said the order covers residents between Locks 1 and 2 on the Pearl River Diversion Canal. "Failure of Lock 2 is imminent," the parish said on its website.

Buses were being sent to help with the evacuations in the area north of the city of Slidell.

A parish spokesperson told NBC News that some 1,200 homes are in the evacuation area.

The order came as hundreds of thousands of people in the region tried to clean up after widespread flooding by Isaac.
