Katrina - Rebuiding Efforts: Orleans Parish Advisory Base Flood Elevation Maps

In response to the severe coastal flooding caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita FEMA undertook a fast-track project to develop advisory flood maps for use by affected communities and citizens during the rebuilding process. Until FEMA can complete new, detailed Flood Insurance Studies (FISs) and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for the Louisiana coastal parishes that border the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Pontchartrain, these advisory maps fill a critical interim need for up-to-date coastal flood risk information.
