"Did you know that Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Southern United States in August 2005, remains one of the most costly and destructive natural disasters in American history ?
Classified as category three upon impact on the coast, its violent winds and terrible storm surge literally submerged the city of New Orleans.The drama mainly played out when the protective dikes, supposed to retain the waters of Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River, gave way under extreme water pressure.
Within hours, more than eighty percent of the city was under water, trapping thousands of residents in their homes.
The logistical failures of the relief efforts and the slowness of crisis management by the federal authorities have been widely criticized by the international media, highlighting profound social inequalities in the face of climate risks."
