Coastal Flood Risk Reduction
Sea level rise, hurricanes, and more frequent and higherintensity tropical storms are the largest threat to the long-term viability and protection of assets in Calcasieu and Cameron parishes. Coastal Flood Risk Reduction focuses on protecting the coast and marshes in Cameron, while ensuring investments in both parishes are shielded against future devastation. Risk reduction projects layer structural and non-structural interventions to reduce loss of life and property damages from surge events and lower flood insurance. These projects build on the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s (CPRA) work with additional layers of structural protection. The Coastal Flood Risk Reduction catalytic project represents a critically important infrastructure investment because it will decrease the risk of future storms impacting the investments in the other catalytic projects and real estate investments coming to Southwest Louisiana.
I think this project will benefit SWLA.
