LOUISIANA HOMEOWNER RESOURCE · OCTOBER 17, 2026
Flood zones, with streets in view
Explore three local examples. These are mapped flood-zone designations, not a map of homes that flooded in 2016.
Loading flood-zone map…
- A / AE / AO: Special Flood Hazard Area
- Floodway within hazard area
- X: reduced risk due to levee
- X: 0.2% annual chance / other moderate category
- X: minimal mapped hazard
- Limit of this example
Unshaded areas outside the dashed boundary are not classified here. Zone X does not mean no flood risk. A map designation alone does not establish an insurance price or whether a lender can require coverage.
Sources, panel dates, and limits
Flood zones: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, retrieved October 17, 2026. Examples are clipped to the outlined areas; boundaries are generalized for display. Individual Letters of Map Amendment are not included. The panel list can include adjoining parishes because these examples do not follow municipal boundaries.
Use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the current official map and applicable map-change letters. The LSU AgCenter flood-map guidance provides additional Louisiana context. Source dates and geographic coverage.
