New Orleans, Louisiana, has an average elevation of about 1 to 2 feet (0.3 to 0.6 meters) below sea level. Some areas of the city are slightly higher, but much of New Orleans is prone to flooding due to its low elevation and proximity to the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. The city's elevation and geography play significant roles in its vulnerability to hurricanes and storm surges.
