Abstract

The news media relentlessly covered Hurricane Katrina and it’s reign of destruction since it first touched down near the gulf coast in 2005. The havoc it wreaked on the homes, businesses, and individuals in that area has made federal reports herald it as “one of the worst catastrophes in the history of the United States.” While the torrential rains, high winds, and levy waters left several parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida in shambles, New Orleans was arguably the hardest hit. Even a month after the storm, towns were still without drinkable water and electricity.
