According to an interview with governor Huckabee
The state has just adopted an emergency regulation that allows Arkansas pharmacists to fill Louisiana prescriptions.
The state is working with Fort Chaffee near Fort Smith to house over 4,000 people for as long as it takes. The state is also contacting church camps, scout camps and the like to make arrangements to house people until their regular opening.
The k-12 students can enroll in Arkansas public schools as "homeless" students which as I understand it will qualify the kids for free lunches and breakfasts until their parents are in better situations.
All state supported colleges are now open to the displaced at in-state tuition rates.

After suffering through several nights without basic comforts in stiffling heat, my wife and I evacuated to Hot Springs, Arkansas. I cannot say enough good things about the people there. They have been absolute angles.
