Environmental & Public Health

Neighborhood Planning: Environmental and Public HealthEarly Action Public Health Plan

EncouragePharmacies to rapidly open branch locationOchsner Clinic to open health care facilityPartnership with Ochsner clinic to develop family oriented fitness center

Ensure all swimming pools are identified and properly maintained (free of debris and mosquito larva)Programs:

Early Warning SystemsEarly warning communicable disease detection systems from Center for Disease Control. Area Schools routinely contacted to report any increase in absenteeism

Community OutreachAssist area schools in developing surveillance system for recognizing behavioral issues in returning students

Neighborhood Planning: Environmental and Public HealthEarly Action Environmental Plan

Request Environmental Protection Agency to:

Conduct formal risk assessment for area Implement remedial action plan for prevailing sediment contaminates clean up including arsenic, lead, petroleum, hydrocarbons, pesticidesRequest that EPA commit to 2 year process of increased soil & air monitoring

Recommend home owners be required by City Ordinance to:

Remove three inches of top soil, replace with cleaner soil such as river sandSeed and provide care for lawns. All grass should be cut and maintained regardless of building plans.

Neighborhood Planning: Environmental and Public HealthEarly Action Environmental Plan

Demolition and Construction Requirements by City Ordinance:

All construction sites watered at end of construction dayAll demolition debris removed within 1 week of deconstructionSodding of all demolished sites

Remediation Immediate remediation of New Basin Canal Park Demand that no public areas be used as waste preparation site. This site would undergo a rapid remediation process

Administration Appoint permanent director of Environment and Health Care for District 5

Energy Friendly ConstructionOpportunities exist to pursue solar energy, other areas of energy conservation.


Mitigation

Neighborhood Planning: MitigationFlooding

Most of District 5 Experienced Over 8 Feet of Flooding Some Areas with Minimal Flooding (0 to 2 feet)

Areas with minimal flooding have come back

FEMA’s Advisory Base Flood Elevation of 2006 Assumes Flood Protection System at Category 3 Level

Neighborhood Planning: Mitigation Damage Assessment

FROM CITY OF NEW ORLEANS 50% Rule – Homes damaged over 50% will have to be brought up to:

Present building code standardsFEMA’s Advisory Base Flood Elevation

Damage % can/has been appealed by individual home owners

Less than 50% will not require home to be raised to new FEMA standards, are “Grandfathered-In”Less than 50% could limit amount of money to owner under Road Home Program

Neighborhood Planning: Mitigation Definitions

BFE - Base Flood Elevation - The elevation to which all habitable spaces and mechanical equipment must be raised in order to obtain preferential insurance rates.1984 BFE - Base Flood Elevation for New Orleans established in 1984.ABFE - Advisory Base Flood Elevation - Advisory elevation established by FEMA in April 2006 (modifies the 1984 BFE). It is advisory and may be changed. HEAG - Highest Existing Adjacent Grade - The highest land elevation as measured by a registered engineer or surveyor on a particular property.

ABFE requires first habitable level at + 3’0” above Highest Existing Adjacent Grade, or at 1984 Base Flood Elevation (whichever is higher)

Neighborhood Planning: MitigationGround Elevation and FEMA Flood Zones

Most of District 5 between - 4 feet elevation and - 6 feet elevation below sea levelSubstantial areas are lower than - 6 feet below sea levelThis has implications for reconstruction and elevation of first habitable level of homesNew residential construction will have to be raised to different levels throughout the City

Will vary throughout different sectors of the cityMay vary within a planning district, a neighborhood, the same block

Determining Highest Existing Adjacent Grade (HEAG)

HEAG is Site Specific

The HEAG of YOUR Property must be measured by a Registered Engineer or Surveyor

The HEAG will be listed on a Property Survey and/or Elevation Certificate

HEAG = -3.91

Finances and ResourcesRecovery Plan for Individuals

The District 5 Recovery Guide to Post-Katrina Resources booklet serves as invaluable resource for homeowners.

The Road to Recovery booklet will be available on the Lakeview Civic Improvement Association website, at the Gulf Coast Bank on Harrison or at community recovery meetings.

Resources and Finances group will host topic specific, informational workshops with speakers from the above program sources.Fundraising efforts will raise money for cause and also provide opportunities for fun and community-building.

InfrastructurePost-storm: Public Transit

Regional Transit Authority currently operating with financing from FEMA and Federal Transit Administration. Existing agreement expires June 30.Federal Transit Administration will continue annual grants to Regional Transit Authority at pre-Katrina levels. Fiscal year starts October 1. July 1, 2006 - $1.25 fare structure may resume.


To address limited financial resources based on diminished population, sales tax revenue and general level of tourism, the Regional Transit Authority has considered various operating scenarios.On June 16, 2006, the Regional Transit Authority Board of Commissioners rejected all Operating Scenarios due to their potential impacts on staffing, levels of service and repopulation. District 5 will probably receive limited public transit at Canal Blvd/City Park Ave terminal and Carrollton streetcar spur.
