Louisiana Laws that enable forced closures

I'm not starting this to debate whether the recent measures JBE has taken are appropriate, but rather to discuss which laws give him the authority. I found this:
CHAPTER 6. THE LOUISIANA HOMELAND SECURITY AND
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE AND DISASTER ACT
https://www.legis.la.gov/Legis/Law.aspx?p=y&d=85667
...but I'm not sure if there are other things we should be looking at.
I'm also seeing that Martial Law doesn't exist in Louisiana, only at the federal level and maybe other states. Does anyone know if that's true?

Guessing this gives him power to whatever he deems necessary:
quote:
§724. Powers of the governor
A. The governor is responsible for meeting the dangers to the state and people presented by emergencies or disasters, and in order to effectuate the provisions of this Chapter, the governor may issue executive orders, proclamations, and regulations and amend or rescind them. Executive orders, proclamations, and regulations so issued shall have the force and effect of law.

I know I'm pointing out the obvious here, but this whole situation fricking sucks.

Of course, and I don't mean to complain here. There are plenty of other threads for that. I'm just curious how far he can legally go, what laws support him, etc.
