The House Concurrent Resolution urges the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to conduct a comprehensive review of Louisiana's floodplain maps and implement updates every five years. It emphasizes the importance of accurate floodplain maps for flood insurance rates, floodplain management regulations, and community planning, particularly in a state like Louisiana that is highly vulnerable to flooding due to its geography and climate conditions. The resolution highlights the significant investments made by Louisiana in flood protection and mitigation measures, and it calls for FEMA to recognize these efforts when reevaluating flood risks.

Additionally, the resolution encourages FEMA to collaborate with state agencies, local governments, and community stakeholders to ensure that updated maps reflect current conditions and knowledge. It also stresses the need for public accessibility to these updated maps, along with clear guidance to help residents understand their flood risks and insurance implications. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant federal officials and Louisiana's congressional delegation to advocate for these necessary changes.
