Levee Board

The Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners is responsible for the operation and maintenance of a comprehensive system of levees along the Mississippi River, safeguarding the state from flood risks. In collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the board oversees various projects focused on levee maintenance and interior stream management, including notable initiatives such as the Yazoo Backwater Project and the Big Sunflower River and Tributaries Project.

In addition to their primary responsibilities, the commission also engages in activities such as levee permit applications, flood fighting station markers, and drift levee repairs, ensuring the ongoing safety and sustainability of the region's waterways. Their work reflects a commitment to effective flood management and community safety in Mississippi.
