Flood risk in New Orleans

Flooding is not covered by a standard homeowners policy anywhere in the country — it is a separate policy. Whether you are required to carry it depends on the zone your address falls in.

FEMA's current mapping for the New Orleans area shows Zone AE, Zone VE alongside Zone X, which is the lower-risk designation.

Whether your address needs flood cover at all comes down to which zone it sits in — and that is an address-level answer, not a town-level one.
