Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority - West

At the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-West (SLFPA-West), our mission is to protect life and property for those who call the most populated areas of the west bank of Orleans and Jefferson parishes home by providing effective, efficient protection from hurricane storm surges and other high-water events that impact levees and other flood-control structures.

SLFPA-West is made up of two levee districts: the West Jefferson Levee District, which serves the west bank portions of Jefferson Parish, and the Algiers Levee District, which serves the west bank portions of Orleans Parish. It covers approximately 67 miles of hurricane flood protection levees, floodwalls and floodgates and approximately 33 miles of Mississippi River levees and floodwalls.
