The Department of Transportation and Development in Houma, LA serves as the State Coordinating Agency for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), working towards mitigating future losses caused by flooding through community enforced building standards.
Participation in the NFIP is voluntary and is based on a community's agreement to adopt and enforce the Federal standards for building within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), with the aim of minimizing loss of life and property due to catastrophic flooding.
