Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana
1 Cities with a Population of 209,996, and 73,996 Households
Calcasieu, Louisiana faces a relatively high risk of natural disasters and climate-related hazards, with a risk score of 96.91. The area is prone to hurricanes, hail, strong winds, and flooding events, with notable historical occurrences such as Hurricane Laura in 2020. The region's coastal location along the Gulf of Mexico makes it vulnerable to storm surges and high winds during hurricane season. Additionally, the area's flat topography exacerbates the risk of flooding from heavy rainfall.
Geological features such as fault lines and mountain peaks do not significantly impact hazard risk in Calcasieu, Louisiana. However, the abundance of water bodies in the region, including the Calcasieu River and various lakes, increases the risk of flooding events. The area's susceptibility to lightning strikes is also a concern, with a high frequency of lightning events recorded. These factors contribute to the overall risk profile of the area, necessitating robust disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts.
Overall, Calcasieu's natural disaster and climate risk assessment highlights the need for proactive measures to address the region's vulnerability to a range of hazards. By taking into account the specific climate factors, historical events, and geological features of the area, local authorities can better prepare for and respond to potential disasters. Collaborating with neighboring communities and leveraging data from multiple sources will be crucial in developing effective risk management strategies to protect the population and infrastructure in Calcasieu, Louisiana.
