Floodplain ManagementMitigation Success Stories

Terrebonne Parish has obtained one of the lowest flood insurance rates in Louisiana by participating in the Community Rating System Program with FEMA. The CRS rating of “6” will provide a 20% savings to home owners and businesses with Federal Flood Insurance in comparison to neighboring parishes.

*Note – Jefferson Parish became the first “6” rating and Terrebonne is the second.
