Hurricane Katrina Disaster Revisited
Hurricane Katrina was one of this nation's worst natural disasters. In the past two years our federal government has provided more than $114 billion in aid. But, the relief and recovery of the area where the eye of the storm passed has been suprisingly dismal. While the French Quarter and huge sections of Uptown and the Garden District came back to life, the story is altogether different in the low income neighborhoods to the east, along Interstate 10. They are empty, quiet, and stuck in the same place when the water receded two years ago. Residents have no power, no water, and are living in toxic ruins. But there is hope for New Orleans. Thousands of volunteers are coming from accross the United States to restore this beloved city.
