Case Study

From June 23-27, 2002, the New Orleans Times-Picayune published a five-part series on what could happen if a major hurricane were to strike the city. This five-part series can be accessed at http://www.nola.com/washingaway/index.html

The above report provides an eerie account of what could happen to New Orleans. There was even a full-scale exercise (Hurricane Pam) involving all levels of government, which took into consideration a major storm striking the city. Of course, as you will see, much of what was predicted in this report, as well as the Hurricane Pam Exercise in New Orleans involving all levels of government, actually came to fruition when Hurricane Katrina struck the area. How could this be? We knew ahead of time that New Orleans was extremely vulnerable, were provided with considerable details with respect to the consequences of a major storm, yet we failed to respond to the challenge. As a result, many people died or were severely impacted by the storm, and New Orleans remains largely devastated to this day.
