Katrina Confronted: Seeing for Themselves

  • The immensity of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina is something you have to witness first-hand to understand its scope and the complexity. 
  • Post-Katrina New Orleans is not going to be a quick fix; the damage to the city and its infrastructure is too dramatic to be repaired in even a few years. 
  • Many Gulf Coast residents were waiting for the release of updated flood advisories to begin rebuilding or repairing their homes. 
  • The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 is federal legislation that was passed in order to encourage economic development in areas impacted by Katrina.
