August 29, 2005: Katrina Strikes

 175 mph winds  confirmed deaths (700 others considered missing)  Estimated over $90 billion in damages (more than 2x Andrew)

Still DRY

Tarp Roof

From this point until today: - Some people struggle, receiving no help -Many repair their homes and get right back on their feet -A large number of people never return -Most things, through a slow and steady process, are back to pre-storm conditions today -Some neighborhoods are still in dire need of one last push to help their people out

The dichotomy continues: some people are… Comfortably back in their homes within 6-12 months Still working hard to make progress, even years later

Events held in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina Mardi Gras (no loss in 2005, been held every year since) BCS College Football National Championship Game NBA All-Star Weekend Sugarbowl, Jazz Fest, NCAA March Madness games, Conventions, 2 presidential visits (Bush & Obama)

French Quarter ‘09

Tulane University Today

The Lower 9 th Ward A middle, working class neighborhood Predominantly African-American – (city is 68% black) Arguably the hardest hit area of the city Has received little help and has made little progress since the storm

Lower 9 th : 2009

There is still work to be done!!! Help the Lower 9 th Ward and other remaining areas return to full strength New Orleans became what it is today due its hardworking and soulful people Make a difference in someone’s life today by donating your time or money!
