Chalmette is a suburb of New Orleans in Louisiana, USA. It, like New Oreleans, was damaged severely by the flooding which came with levee failures from Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005. While 20% of New Orleans was above the flooding, Chalmette experienced the disaster of 100% flooding. As of May 2006 most residents who are back are still living in FEMA trailers while they gut and repair their flood devastated homes and work hard rebuilding the home town they love.

The largest concentration of businesses and restaurants back open are along Paris Road between St. Bernard Highway and Judge Perez Drive.
