New Orleans: The Collapse Of Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was formed as a tropical storm off the coast of the Bahamas. In only seven days the storm grew into a catastrophic hurricane, it made landfall in Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama. Hurricane Katrina left a trail of devastation. Hurricane Katrina flooded the historic city of New Orleans making it the worst incident in that region. The hurricane was one disaster; the second disaster was the poor communication and response between states, regional, local, and federal relief agencies. The lack of communication and planning cause a catastrophic damage to the vast human population.
