State Hazard Mitigation Plan

Louisiana’s State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP) was approved by FEMA on March 21, 2024. The 2024 SHMP update to the previous State Plan continues to build on Louisiana's commitment creating stronger, more resilient communities through hazard mitigation activities. The State of Louisiana's vision was to produce a hazard mitigation plan that is informative, educational and easy to read.
