Master Plan: Elevation
Nonstructural project measures include raising a
buildings elevation or flood proofing residential andnonresidential structures.
We view these measures as key components ofprotecting communities, knowing that we cannot
reduce flood risks purely by building levees.These nonstructural measures can, in someinstances, provide results more quickly than canlevees. In other cases, using nonstructural and
structural approaches together can provide riskreduction most e#ciently.

Interviews: Issue of Elevation
More people want to elevate than there ismoney for.
The biggest push back we have now is that withthe new FEMA maps, a lot of properties are beingpushed into the X-zone which makes it impossiblefor them to get FEMA funds for elevation.
Harvey residents want to be elevated even thoughthey are behind levees because they don't believe
that their foundation is as secure as it was pre-Katrina.

Interviews: Issue of Elevation
When the elevation program started we had150 people. Only 45 qualified simplybecause they couldnt come up with thematch.
FEMA took the ICC o!
the table 6 months afterprogram started; if you cannot see the damageto the house you don't qualify.
People cannot a!ord 25-30k out of their
pocket.

Interviews: Issue of Elevation
Some type of regulations from the state levelthat would make elevation more a!ordable andregulated would be good.
We found that the amount it costs to elevate is
prohibitive. There is only a certain number ofcompanies that can be utilized and those aredriving the market in terms of price per squarefoot.

Interviews: Issue of Elevation
We just completed 22 [elevations] using CDBGgrant funds. We also just finished ourcomprehensive plan with 10-20 year projections.It is hard to follow a plan with councilmen whomay not agree all the time.
Politics definitely influence implementation.

Advocacy Group
We cannot just say elevation, but need to look at the
consequences of elevation.
We need to look beyond elevation.
There is no planning around community and agingaround elevation. We can talk about elevation figure out how to talk to them about that and thenwe can talk about relocation.
Practical solutions are needed.

Interviews: Issues of Acquisition
We are talking about buying up a particularsubdivision, and we're talking about uprootinga whole community.
While relocation would be the quickest and
easiest way, for the people, and for theparish government, it's the hardest thing todo.

Interviews: Issues of Acquisition
I think for relocation, in some areas youwon't have a problem, but in the southernpart, these people will fight tooth and nail,and they don't want any help from you.

Advocacy Group: Issues of Acquisition
There may be relocation, but there is nofunding.
A lot of the people relocating are going to below income. No one is doing anything to setaside property.
A lot of people are leaving with nothing tothe north and these parishes are notprepared.
It is a NOW issue.
