By topic
  • Humanitarian effects of Hurricane Katrina (death toll and relevant historical context; health concerns; homelessness/refugees
  • Environmental effects of Hurricane Katrina (there is a small item under "political effects" but it is a separate subject. eg Reports of major oil spill in Missippi river, effect on Manatees in Lake Ponchatrane? a company in the area reportedly had huge mercury reserve, a primate research lab in the area had top level bio-hazards? does someone know detail on this kind of stuff?)
  • Institutions affected by Hurricane Katrina (would be useful to catalogue the facts vs the hearsay reports; eg prisons - prisoners drowned?, hospitals, which were evacuated when, by whom & resultant deaths etc.)
  • Literature and music inspired by Hurricane Katrina (The old South went down. No longer will the historic homes along Hwy 90 bear witness to that bygone era. There has been a loss of memory. Many long, vivid lives have been lost in Emergency Rooms all along the coast (the ones still functional) and with them went connections to a slower pace of life, a community of reflection and story-telling.)
  • Media Involvement in Hurricane Katrina (split off long section in the main page)
