The State of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast
Institute for Southern Studies
Southern Exposure (Vol. XXXIV, Nos. 3 & 4)
Aug/Sept 2006
Hurricane Katrina shook the world as millions watched in horror not only at the devastating winds and floods, but also at the failure of national leaders to come to the region's aid. As the weeks and months passed, the catastrophes of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita -- and the failed emergency response -- gave way to another tragedy: a failed recovery and rebuilding process that locked out thousands of Gulf Coast residents.
In "One Year After Hurricane Katrina: The State of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast" [pdf], the Institute analyzed over 200 indicators in 13 categories to track the status of Gulf Coast rebuilding. The report also features status reports on issues from housing to environmental protection and investigations into the region's key power brokers.
