Floodplain Management Plan
What Natural Hazards Are Most
Common in Louisville?
Because of where it is located geographically,
Louisville is primarily at risk from flooding, severe thunderstorms,
hailstorms, and tornados. Go to All Hazards
to view Louisville Metro’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan adopted in May
2005. Adopted by the Old City of
Louisville and Jefferson Fiscal Court in February 2000, the Floodplain
Management Plan outlines a Five-Year Action Plan for mitigation to eliminate
or reduce flood losses. The Floodplain Management Plan was readopted, along
with the revised Floodplain Management Ordinance in August 2005. See the
revised Action Plan below (2002 revised Action Plan). Read the
Floodplain Management Plan overview for more
information.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Louisville/Jefferson County Community Rating System (CRS)
and Project Impact is to develop a process to guide the community in a
coordinated effort to reduce flood damages to life and property and protect
the natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain. Moreover, the
overall goal of the Floodplain Management Plan is to guide the community in
a holistic, coordinated effort to raise the consciousness of the flood-risk
and to reduce flood damages to life and property.
