Purpose of this Blog
This blog is hybrid of a photographic record of the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, an analysis of the events leading to the Katrina tragedy, and an inquiry into the appropriate response to Hurricane Katrina. I hope to put Hurricane Katrina into the larger context of emergency response, as well as the necessary adaptations to global warming.
