New Orleans vs. Katrina: Overview and USACE Preliminary Response (Emergency Operations)
This paper provides an overview of the Southeast Louisiana Flood and Hurricane Protection System that was in place at the time of Hurricane Katrina. Both geography and components of the system are described. A brief description of the development of the storm and the major damage caused is also discussed. Almost immediately after the realization that various components of the system had failed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) responded through an intensive mode of emergency operations. The entire system was surveyed by air to understand the condition of the system and to assess the extent of the damage. The survey was followed by rescue operations and planning for closure of the breaches and "unwatering" of the flooded areas.
