Climate resilience context

New Orleans uses the Louisiana state resilience seed. The scenarios linked to this city page are flooding, freezes and winter cold snaps, hurricanes / coastal tropical storms, and tornadoes; they are state-level hazards, not city incident claims.

• flooding

  Louisiana flooding is driven by Gulf surge, subsidence, intense rainfall, bayous, drainage pumps, and low-slope neighborhoods.

• freezes and winter cold snaps

  Louisiana freezes are rare but disruptive, especially for raised homes, outdoor water heaters, exposed hose bibs, and pool equipment.

• hurricanes / coastal tropical storms

  Louisiana's hurricane risk is shaped by Gulf surge, low elevations, bayous, levee-protected communities, heavy rain, and prolonged power restoration after major landfalls.

• tornadoes

  Louisiana tornadoes often form in tropical rain bands or Gulf-fed cold fronts, which means short warning lead times and low visibility.
