Counties with levees (graphics by Times Picayune)

Insurance Journal magazine has requested Levees.org’s permission to publish our levee statistics and map and the accompanying story in its periodical.

Insurance Journal and its web site, products of Wells Publishing, is a trade news organization covering the property/casualty insurance industry.  Its magazines are published on a national/regional basis 24 times a year. There are five regional editions, and around 43,000 subscribers.

The levee county data for the map and research was attained by Levees.org in a request to FEMA under the Freedom of Information Act. The map was created and research conducted by geographer Ezra Boyd.
