Apparently many displaced New Orleans residents have relocated to Livingston Parish and Baton Rouge area, but it clearly has a flood plain and did applied for funding which FEMA denied. Although Katrina missed this parish, it doesn't mean that it will escape a detrimental impact in the future. Levies are in place in this parish...that certainly is telling. People should not build on marshland which are natural barriers to cyclones.

contact the Capital Region Planning Commission in Baton Rouge, 225-383-5203...they may have flood maps or try the FEMA office in New Orleans at their Flood Hazard Boundary maps office......
