Flooding in Louisiana is no new thing, unfortunately. The state has the highest percentage of land at risk of flooding, according to National Flood Services, and was the sight of one of the most devastating hurricanes in the country ever, Hurricane Katrina.
The state received over $28 billion in payouts for flood insurance claims, the most out of all states.
Speaking of The Big Easy specifically, almost 100% of properties in New Orleans – yes, almost all, there’s two zeroes, not one – have a high risk of flooding, according to Risk Factor. New Orleans consistently ranks as one of the worst cities in the country in that regard and we all remember the devastation and chaos the Hurricane Katrina caused.
This all means that in case you’ve never dealt with water damage in New Orleans so far, you likely will in the future. We don’t want to be pessimistic, but just realistic and to help you prepare for such event. One of the best ways to prepare for flooding is through education – learn more at the American Red Cross.
