Book Reviews of Hurricane Katrina: CNN Reports: State of Emergency
Book Review: Katrina
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Katrina survivor. I was there during and after the storm. First of all, many people do not know the facts. New Orleans is 12 feet below sea level not 7. Second the levees were contracted to be built to withstand a cat.3 hurricane. The core of engineers were the ones who built the levees wrong. Third the State of Louisiana asked for money to rebuild the levees many years ago. That money was denied. It was too expensive for the country. So now it cost many billions of dollars to rebuild the city. A fine example of our government! A large number of very poor people were not able to evacuate. They had no transportation. They had no relatives to go to as all their families were living in the same poor section of town as they were. They had no money to go to hotels or any other place. These people were forgotten and left to die. Their was no disaster plan that stated how to evacuate the poor. Hundreds of school buses went underwater. These buses could have been used to evacuate the poor. I am ashamed to be a native of New Orleans. My city and state and country let us all down. The book is very good and describes the situation well. You really had to be there to see all the news and writers never saw. Many of us have left our home city, never to return. This is so sad!
