Metairie

What shapes flood insurance in Jefferson Parish.

Low-lying East Jefferson

Metairie and East Jefferson sit low and flat, kept dry by an extensive network of drainage canals and pump stations. Much of Jefferson Parish is FEMA-mapped, and heavy-rain street flooding is a familiar local reality, including outside the highest-risk zones.

Storm surge and rainfall exposure

Flooding here comes from storm surge pushed in during tropical systems and from intense rainfall overwhelming the pump system.

Elevation and foundation

Elevation is one of the variables the NFIP rates on, and Jefferson Parish slab-on-grade homes rate differently than raised construction.
