LINK TO TAKE ACTION

As you know, there is zero evidence that the pre-Katrina levee board members behaved irresponsibly in their flood protection duties. Such accusations were debunked over a decade ago. The Army Corps of Engineers is responsible.

Blaming the pre-Katrina levee boards is disparaging and insulting to the people of New Orleans.

However, Levees.org prefers that an expert nominating committee selects the current levee board members rather than the governor. This is appropriate because the New Orleans District is the largest District of the Army Corps of Engineers in the nation.

If the levee maintenance is not done exactly per the Army Corps’ instructions, the levees can be decertified and no one can get flood insurance.

Therefore, we are asking you to click this link and contact the LA House Transportation committee urging them to vote NO to HB633. One click will contact all 16 members. And you can modify it if you like.
