Damage - New Orleans • Lots of houses and other buildings destroyed\flooded

• 1800 killed by Katrina

• 1100 of them in new Orleans

• Lots of people lost family members • Some of the places were still being built 6 years later

• flooding

• transportation

• survivors\surviving buildings

• Not Prepared.

• the levees were to weak.

•There would not have been nearly as much flooding and not as many people would have been killed.

Lots of animals were also stranded in the flood. Many of them were saved by FEMA and other rescue services.

• Millions of trees destroyed by Katrina’s winds and flooding.

• 175 mile per hour winds.

• most houses were completely flooded.

I think there should be one natural disaster program that takes care of all natural disasters. If there had been one during Katrina not as many people would have died. If new Orleans had more time and communication the storm would not have as bad. The levees broke because they were unprepared. Also the fire and police station’s flooded so no one could answer emergency calls or help rescue the people. If all of the organizations worked together with more communication they could have accomplish more. The meteorologists could immediately tell the reporters about the storm and the reporters could tell the people to evacuate. I think that people would benefit from this organization.

My book is about Andrew, a reporter that was in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina happened. There was flooding, high speed winds and no emergency rescue buildings or people. He interviews survivors. The book is all about the damages of the storm, how many houses were destroyed, how many people were killed and how much people lost.
