Levee Coordination
 FEMA and USACE
• Coordination efforts have
intensified and will continue to
be important in the future.
• Guidance issued and actions
taken are more complementary
and less contradictory.
 FEMA and Other Agencies
• FEMA also coordinates with
other federal and state
agencies.

Levee Challenges

Challenges include:
•
•
•
Obtaining data and
documentation to
determine whether to
accredit, provisionally
accredit, or de-accredit.
Preparing mapping
products that accurately
depict existing hazards and
risks behind levees
Explaining the hazards
and risks to community
officials and citizens
