Natural Hazards in Coastal Louisiana Afternoon Panel Presentation

The Louisiana coastal wetlands, 20,000 square miles from Texas to Mississippi, protect an internationally significant commercial-industrial complex from the destructive forces of storm-driven winds and tides.   The degradation of the Louisiana coast makes us vulnerable, not unlike an incident under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  Ironically, response to the degradation of our coast line entails the use of some of the same technologies as these incidents.  The lunch presentation will discuss the historical and future federal and state roles in the Louisiana Coastal Area Near-Term Ecosystem Restoration Plan.
