NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Upcoming workshops on Advisory Base Flood Elevations and Increased Cost of Compliance, known as ICC, are open to officials and the general public from all parishes in Louisiana.

The public is invited to attend in the evening from 7 – 8:30 p.m. An afternoon segment with technical information for elected officials, building officials, adjusters, insurance agents, and lenders will be held from 3 – 5 p.m.

ICC coverage is provided under insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). ICC enables eligible flood insurance policyholders who reside in high-risk flood hazard areas to receive up to $30,000 to assist with the cost of bringing their homes or businesses into compliance with local floodplain ordinances.
