Now is the time to strengthen your home and make it disaster resistant, before the next
natural disaster strikes Louisiana.
Mitigation is defined as taking action now to reduce future risk. To meet this need, FEMA Mitigation specialists are
available by phone, email or online to help those that want to learn more about building, rebuilding, and repairing

implemented during repairs.
▪ Explain the value, coverages, and benefits of flood insurance for owners and renters.

▪ Help you turn your homeowner challenges into opportunities by making your home more resilient!
