St. Tammany Parish is subject to natural hazards that threaten life and health and have caused extensive property damage. Since Hurricane Betsy in 1965, the Parish has been declared a disaster area by the President 20 times. While these hazards are acts of nature, the impacts on residents, public facilities, businesses, and private property can be diminished through hazard mitigation planning.
