St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper has scheduled an informational meeting for residents to learn about Risk Rating 2.0 and its impacts on flood insurance rates directly from a FEMA representative.
President Cooper said his administration has been demanding information and a delay to the implementation of the program, which could skyrocket flood insurance rates for citizens.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 15, at 3 p.m. in the St. Tammany Parish Council Chambers at 21490 Koop Drive in Mandeville. The event will also be live-streamed on STPG – TV and St. Tammany Parish Government’s Facebook page.
A FEMA representative will be present to answer questions, which must be submitted in advance. You can submit your questions by visiting: http://www.stpgov.org/RiskRating.
FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 program was implemented on April 1, 2022, following staunch opposition from President Cooper, Congressman Scalise and other local, state and federal officials.
