The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Louisiana Office of
Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (LOHSEP) are here
to assist the City of New Orleans and Orleans Parish, Louisiana
in responding to and recovering from the damages as a result of
Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005 and Hurricane Rita, September
24, 2005. This information package is designed to address the
necessary federal and state regulations and guidelines to
facilitate your application process for the Public Assistance
and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs. This is not intended to be
inclusive of all possible applicable laws, but those routinely
encountered in disaster recovery.
In addition to
assisting applicants in gathering current information for
informed decision making, we are responsible for ensuring that
numerous state and federal environmental and historic
preservation laws and Executive Orders are met. It is necessary
for any applicant receiving FEMA and state assistance to obtain
and comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws,
requirements and permits. Please be aware that failure to comply
may jeopardize federal funding.
We are
available for technical assistance. If you have any questions or
need assistance, please contact the Harahan Public Assistance
Processing Center for a FEMA Environmental Specialist at (504)
