  2. America the Great • Five days after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the U.S. government pledged $350 million for humanitarian and recovery assistance. • Five days after hurricane Katrina, after living in deteriorating condition, deprived of food , water and medical needs the Louisiana Superdome is finally evacuated

  3. “Life’s Great”……So they say Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff argues that “government planners did not predict such a disaster ever could occur.” However, scientists and others had warned of the possibility for years. • “Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them.”- Former First Lady Barbara Bush.

  4. “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.” • Three days after the storm, citizen’s are still at the New Orleans's convention center and Superdome dying because if the lack of aid and George Bush praises Michael Brown the Director of FEMA • “I am actually very impressed with the mobilization of man and machine to help our friends in this unfortunate area….I think it’s one of the most impressive search-and-rescue operations this country has ever conducted domestically.

  5. So what are we to do??? • In the following weeks and months Katrina evacuees are moved to states such as Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Without any jobs, children didn’t know if they were going to school or not. • Some people don’t know the conditions of their home and cant go back to the city of New Orleans because of low funds.

  6. FEMA TRAILER!!!

  7. New Orleans 5 years after Hurricane Katrina • After fives the city of New Orleans is still facing problems but with a change of President and Mayor I think it’s on the right track. • But it’s still thousands of citizens that hasn’t return to there home and doesn’t plan on returning to there home. • With new culture and people being introduce to the city, New Orleans will never be the way it was before, but it would always be home to millions.
