Shortly after the storm, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established a task force to assess the performance of the levees, floodwalls, and other structures comprising the area's hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This book provides an independent review of the task force's final draft report and identifies key lessons from the Katrina experience and their implications for future hurricane preparedness and planning in the region.Hurricane protectionLouisianaNew OrleansLeveesLouisianaNew OrleansFlood controlLouisianaNew OrleansFlood damage preventionLouisianaNew OrleansHurricane Katrina, 2005Hurricane protectionLeveesFlood controlFlood damage preventionHurricane Katrina, 2005.363.3492MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974770803321The New Orleans hurricane protection system4353085UNINA
