Environmental Assessment for City of Gulfport Police and Municipal Court Building, Harrison County, Mississippi

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast, causing extensive damage. The City of Gulfport, Mississippi, has submitted an application for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program for the construction of the Police and Municipal Court Building in Gulfport, Harrison County, Mississippi. Despite their locations outside of the 100-year floodplain, the Police Administration building, Police Community Services building, and Municipal Court building were flooded with up to 36 inches of saltwater and sewage during Katrina. Damages to each building exceeded the 50% repair/replacement ratio, meeting FEMA’s criteria for demolition and replacement of the structures. Due to public health and safety concerns, all three buildings were demolished.
