Tangipahoa Parish has experienced several major disaster declarations in the past decade due to its low lying land and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. This project conducted an assessment of stormwater management policies, updated enforcement protocols, conducted staff training, developed model ordinance language for flood protection, and provided best management guidance for improving stormwater programs.
This project is part of the larger Climate and Resilience Community of Practice capacity building grant funded by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Gulf Research Program.
