Louisiana Floodplain Management Association

The Flood Loss Outreach & Awareness Task force (FLOAT) is an organization consisting of CRS participating communities from the Lake Pontchartrain basin area who come together to share best practices and lessons learned. The purpose of FLOAT is for CRS communities to work together towards more savings to the flood insurance policy holders in their communities while striving towards excellence in floodplain management.
