Sweeping changes to the nation’s flood insurance program that are leading to steep hikes for many in Louisiana will be scrutinized in a federal court hearing on Thursday in New Orleans.

The hearing is part of a lawsuit filed in June by Louisiana, nine other states and a list of parishes, municipalities and levee boards. It calls on FEMA, which oversees the National Flood Insurance Program, to halt the changes and return to the drawing board.
