Helping Southern
Louisiana Recover
Record Rainfall Floods 22 Parishes
In one of the worst natural disasters in the U.S. since Superstorm
Sandy in 2012, southern Louisiana experienced historic flooding in
mid-August that impacted thousands of homes and businesses. Record
rainfall of up to two to three inches an hour overwhelmed rivers and
waterways over the course of four days, with 22 parishes ultimately
designated federal disaster areas by FEMA. The National Weather
Service stated that the accumulated rainfall-more than three times
the rain dropped in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina in 2005-
represented a rare 1-in-1000-year event.
Responding 24x7
Anticipating the unfolding flood disaster that Louisiana citizens were
facing, FEMA quickly tasked Dewberry with preparing an initial flood
depth grid that depicted the extent of the impact from the heavy rains,
flash flooding, and inland riverine flooding. Applying a new process
that enabled the team to assemble initial data within hours rather
than days, Dewberry's geospatial specialists analyzed Civil Air Patrol
digital images, satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar, airborne lidar, digital
elevation models, field reports, stream gauge data, news reports, and
social media posts to assemble the assessments.
