These meetings occurred in 19 specific towns and places suggested by residents in the first round of meetings. The second round of LA SAFE meetings focused on conversations in smaller communities. Residents recommended short-term, medium-term and long-term strategies according to projected low, moderate and high flood risk across LA SAFE parishes. We held 21 meetings at 19 locations within the six pilot parishes. The project team organized all of the comments into strengths, challenges and opportunities.
They also discussed what they think are the most important aspects of their communities that need to be protected as well as their hopes for the future of their parish. As Louisianans have made the decision to relocate, we have seen resources for everyday services such as education, infrastructure and healthcare shift accordingly.ĭuring roundtable discussions, groups of six to eight residents talked about the ways they have seen land loss impact their environment, economies and communities. The team also discussed projected increased flood risk that results from the loss of our wetland buffer and the migration trends taking place across the LA SAFE region.

The LA SAFE team shared information on historic land loss over the last 50 years as well as expected land loss in the next 50 years even with full implementation of the Coastal Master Plan. The first round of meetings included six community meetings, one in each of the six pilot parishes. Residents described challenges, strengths and opportunities for the future. Alongside an exceptional team of public sector, philanthropic, non-profit and private sector partners the team worked with residents to understand what the goals, needs, and opportunities are in their parishes and individual communities. We brought the best land loss and flood risk modeling data in the world from our partners at the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA). In each of the discussions had with community members, the LA SAFE team presented the work that had been done up to the current point - work that was inspired and driven by input at the community level from the previous meeting - and asked them, “Is this correct? Is this what you are seeing in your community? Does this make sense?” In the final iteration of the LA SAFE process the team presented to the community a final adaptation strategy that was crafted with residents along every step of the way. As the planning process moved along through the 2017 calendar year, the LA SAFE team worked with residents to achieve new milestones that advanced the work needed to produce a final strategy. Through larger parish-wide meetings and smaller community discussions, our LA SAFE team worked with residents across all six parishes to set design goals for the desired outcomes that they wish to see in their community. Below is a design illustrating the LA SAFE project timeline and the meeting process.
