I am doing a powerpoint on Hurricane Katrina, and I need to know what the government did during and over the first year to help? I know they should have done more, but I need to know what they did do, and also what else they could have done.
I have looked on google, and its too much info i just need a summary.

In the time it took you to submit this question, you could have gone to a search engine and found out for yourself.

It’s called RESEARCH.

Try Google.

I hear you can get tons of info there.

I am doing a social project and need an acctul time frame for when the world responded to Hurricane Katrina for example, when did donations start coming in, when were we made aware?

Little know is that Hugo Chavez of Venezuela sent thousands of gallons of gasoline to help, free of charge. While Bush slept, NBC News was reporting the absence of aid 2 days after the hurricane hit. Japan and other countries offered and sent aid, as well.

I need to know how much was donated to New orleans after Hurricane Katrina for a research topic.Please help!

not enough, thats for sure!

You have gotten a real interesting research project. Have you considered maybe cutting it back just a little bit. I went on google and asked the question and google came back with dozens of pages. I will give you reference to just one and it talks about foreign monies that have never been spent, from all over the world. How would address this and also the Red Cross for instance. Its a subject that needs to be in pieces and then bring it together.

One happened to our own people. The other happened to another country. Yet conservatives seem to expect Obama to treat Haiti like Katrina.

It’s fair. Obama is winning by miles.

I’m guessing that if the Saints make the Super Bowl, the Katrina tribute will be longer. If not, Katrina will be mentioned in tandem with the Haiti tribute. Thoughts?

obligatory Katrina tribute??? geez, maybe a tornado will kill a few thousand in Kansas before game time

Some Republicans are saying he is doing this for political points. The leader of the party Rush Limbaugh said he did it to score with light skinned blacks? Why are comments like these not denounced by the rest of the Republican leadership? Are they scared of Rush Limbaugh?

Does anyone think that this is due to the fact that they were so bad in their response to Katrina that is bothers them Obama is doing such a better job?

Because it is a thousand times better than their lame response to Katrina. They do not want to look even lamer than they already have been proven to be!

I love the name Katrina, and my husband likes it, but also associates it with the hurricane (he used to live on the gulf coast but moved a couple years before the hurricane hit). Does anyone else automatically think of the same thing?

I sure hope not. It’s a nice name. As someone else mentioned, by the time your child is in school (aka: at the teasing age), the hurricane will have been 10 years ago and most of the kids her age won’t even think of it. Yes, the effects are still with us and should never be forgotten, but I don’t think it’s good cause to "kill" a name, especially since the name was chosen basically at random by the National Weather Service. It’s not like the storm was named after the person who designed the faulty levees.

Where are some memorials for hurricane katrina victims located. I know extreme home makeover did one. Where are others?

New Orleans Katrina Memorial at Charity Hospital Cemetery

One in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans

these are the two i know of.

Not counting graves i have seen driving around. Like vera on Magazine st. It says here lies Vera. It might still be there but with a better grave than just bricks on top of her.

It has been more than four years since Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. How has the city recovered from it? In your opinion, is the recovery effort behind or ahead of schedule? What is now being done to restore New Orleans back to its original feeling?

The historic parts of the city were all built on high ground and didn’t flood. There has also been huge progress in the past 4 years and most of the metro area now looks like Katrina never happened.

The city and metro area are still recovering from Katrina, and the process will take more years. Realize that Katrina was the worst natural disaster in US history and turned 90,000 square miles (an area larger than the UK) into a rubbish heap overnight. More buildings were destroyed in New Orleans alone (a small part of the disaster area) on the morning of August 29, 2005 than were destroyed in London by German bombs/rockets during all of WWII (the death toll in London was of course far, far higher).

In practical terms, the city & metro area are operating normally. Utilities like electricity/water/phone and city services like police/fire/ems/sanitation were all problematic in 2005-2006 but are back to normal. The area’s entertainment industry has also recovered.

There was a fear the "soul" of the city had been destroyed by Katrina, but that has not been the case.
