Louisiana’s 2012 Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast
Path Forward on Nonstructural Program ImplementationCPRA Meeting - October 17, 2012
Our Communities and Livelihoods at Risk
Predicted Future Flooding from a 100 Year Flood EventFuture Without Action
Potential for damages to reach $23.4 billion annually
Increasing threats to lives, jobs, communities and the economy
What the Master Plan Delivers
What the Master Plan Delivers
The plan includes a wide variety of project types distributed throughout the coast.We are using every tool in the toolbox to protect and restore south Louisiana.
Nonstructural Protection Projects
5
Residential & Non-residential Floodproofing (0’ - 3’)
Residential Elevation (3’ – 18’)• BFE+1’ or BFE+4’
Residential Voluntary Acquisition (> 18’)
Additional Nonstructural Measures
6
Programmatic: Land use planning, ordinances, public education, hazard mitigation planning, building codes, etc.
Not easily evaluated, but critical to a successful coast wide nonstructural risk reduction
Land use planning
Education
Building codes
Implementation of Ordinances
1. Increase coordination among state and parish agencies working on nonstructural issues in Louisiana. Need a single entity to act as a clearinghouse.
2. Consider amending regulatory requirements, such as: 1) local land use planning; 2) building codes; 3) flood damage prevention ordinances; 4) risk reduction project funding.
3. Identify the needs of Louisiana residents and encourage the development of funding and support initiatives to meet those needs.
4. Train officials and educate the public on their flood risks and the nonstructural options available to them.
Master Plan Recommendations for Nonstructural Protection
• Multiple Agencies• Coastal protection and restoration (CPRA)• Floodplain management (DOTD)• Emergency response and mitigation planning (GOHSEP)• Hazard recovery (OCD)
• State CDBG• FEMA HMGP
• Education, outreach, grants and response (FEMA)• Implementation of elevation measures (Parishes)
Current Status of Nonstructural Programs

CPRA Board
CPRA Board Subcommittee
(Members from DOI, DOA, DOTD, GOHSEP,
LED)
Nonstructural Advisory Group
Team and Roles
9
CPRA Nonstructural Team will lead coordination and communication between staff, the CPRA Board Subcommittee, and the Advisory Group.
Federal & State Reps
Parish Reps
Stakeholder & Community Reps
Nonstructural Development
Team
Academics & Planners
CPRA Board Nonstructural Subcommittee• Include members from:
• Dept. of Insurance• Dept. of Administration• Dept. of Transportation & Development• Gov.’s Office of Homeland Security• Dept. of Economic Development• (Others)
• Board will help to establish program policy and offer advice to the development team on implementation measures
Nonstructural Advisory Group• Lead by CPRA with members from coastal parishes; federal & state agencies involved
in hazard mitigation; community leaders; and knowledgeable stakeholder groups
• Group will help to determine lessons learned, potential implementation issues and mechanisms, funding opportunities, and communicate information on the program to coastal communities
Program Structure
10
Programmatic Structure and Membership:• Identify current and additional team members; subcommittee and
advisory group members• Define roles and responsibilities of group members• Develop a timeline and resources needed for program
Program Development:• Understand past successes and failures and current and future
efforts in the coastal area• Understand regulations & policy requirements• Determine existing and anticipated funding sources
Near-term Next Steps
11
• Data Collection & Research:• Utilize data from the risk modeling and expand to include higher
resolution spatial analysis
• Determine areas of high risk and repetitive loss
• Research rate of participation in the program and identify obstacles to voluntary participation
• Evaluate mitigation incentive programs
• Determine the best type of risk communication and education methods to reach the public
Near-term Next Steps
12
• Outline the specific operational structural of the program • Determine appropriate methods for prioritizing projects in areas
of high risk which best maximize the MP risk reduction objective
• Develop a nonstructural demonstration project to test policies and procedures for the program
Long-term Steps
13
• Board members interest in participation• Identification of appropriate department staff members• Gather feedback from the board on the path forward for
Nonstructural Program Implementation
CPRA Feedback
