Los Angeles County prepared its Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) concurrently with its Comprehensive Floodplain Management Plan for unincorporated LA County. Repetitive loss areas have been delineated based on a list of Repetitive Loss Properties maintained by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A Repetitive Loss Property is any insurable building for which two or more claims of more than $1,000 were paid by the National Flood Insurance Program within any rolling ten-year period, since 1978. Also included in the Repetitive Loss Areas are properties that are not listed as Repetitive Loss Properties, but are nearby and, therefore, may face similar flood risk and can benefit from information contained in the RLAA.
The RLAA addresses the following for repetitive loss areas:
-
Identifies flood-related hazards
-
Explains potential effects to structures and residents
-
Explores possible preventive measures
-
Specifies how flood awareness outreach will be conducted
