What happened at the Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina formed in late August 2005 and made landfall near the Louisiana-Mississippi coast on August 29 as a powerful hurricane. Storm surge and levee failures flooded roughly 80 percent of New Orleans, submerging entire neighborhoods for weeks. The storm devastated coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, killing more than 1,800 people and displacing over a million residents. Recovery efforts and the government response, particularly the handling of evacuations, relief supplies, and levee infrastructure, faced significant criticism for delays and inadequacies. Katrina caused an estimated 125 billion dollars in damage, becoming one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history, and prompted lasting changes in disaster preparedness and flood-control engineering.
