The 2015 Louisiana flood took place for several weeks in June of 2015.[1] The areas in Louisiana affected by the Red River Flood include Caddo Parish, Bossier Parish, Natchitoches Parish, Rapides Parish, and the cities of Coushatta, Alexandria, and Shreveport.[2][3][4][5][6] Response teams such as the Louisiana National Guard were deployed in order to fill and place sandbags at residencies that were under flood warning.[7]

The Red River reached its highest level in over 70 years, cresting in most of the affected areas at around 6-9 feet over the flood levels.[1][8]
