re: 1,800+ East Baton Rouge Parish homes may need to be raised because of 2016 floods

I am fortunate I never flooded.
My house is 3” above BFE and 1/2 my yard is an AE. Go to the other side and out of Flood zone.
If someone said they could raise my house 2ft for $10k I could consider it.
2016 was bad and Monday night brought back the reminder that I got lucky in 2016. I did not flood in either rain storm. It getting too close for comfort.

I keep saying this, but each flood even and really each rsin we have washed more wild, crud, debris, and etc. into the river basin.
The Amite and every one of its tributaries is shrinking. Creeks, canals, and ditches are shrinking. The entire basin has hardening if the arteries and needs a gigantic Roto rooter machine to clean it out.
This coupled with new developments is making things worse.

Anyone have a map of where the 1800 homes in East Baton Rouge are located and where the 1200+ homes in Livingston are? I imagine they are located very close to the Amite River.
