The Parish is requesting funding from the FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities programs or other funding as it becomes available.

- A Safe Room within the new Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District office
- North Campus Public Works Safe Room for Essential Personnel
