Navigating
the Federal Emergency Management Agency – Fact Sheets
The
Louisiana Sea Grant Law & Policy Program has developed a series
of information sheets and narrated presentations to help those
affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita navigate Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) programs and related legal issues during
the ongoing rebuilding process. The information sheets and presentations
answer questions about the National Flood Insurance Program, flood
elevations, rebuilding after a flood and other reconstruction
matters.

Parish Lakefront Restoration
Hurricane
Katrina made landfall in late August 2005 followed four weeks
later by Hurricane Rita. Flood and wind damage occurred along
much of the Gulf of Mexico coast, including southern Louisiana.
This report, developed by Louisiana State University senior landscape
architecture students working with the East Jefferson Parish Levee
Board, contains proposals for providing storm protection along
Lake Pontchartrain by rebuilding wetlands and coastal marsh where
both existed prior to urban development in the Bucktown and surrounding
neighborhoods.

A
Town Too Smart to Die
Louisiana
Sea Grant Assists Delcambre, La., During Hurricane Recovery
In September
2005, Hurricane Rita pushed a 10-foot storm surge into the town
of Delcambre and across surrounding agricultural fields. The surge
flooded all but 25 of the 903 structures in the town’s corporate
limits. With the assistance of Louisiana Sea Grant, a recovery
steering committee composed of community members drafted a business
plan to revitalize the local economy by filling a niche for a
working waterfront that will support the fishing industry between
Intracoastal City and Morgan City. The following report outlines
the committee’s objectives as well as obstacles which need
to be overcome.
