Katrina Research
During Katrina and for several weeks afterward, I worked with a small
group on democraticunderground.com to compile info about the disaster
and various efforts in response to it, effectual and not.
If you've done this sort of thing, you know that certain key articles
have a way of disappearing off the 'net. We managed to save a few of
those, along with a lot of other information including some survivors’
personal accounts.
The info was compiled in a DU forum thread. The initial post describes
the method used to organize the info. It’s followed by a (lengthy) list of topic/post headings,
which is followed in turn by the actual posts containing the info.
To minimize possible copyright violations, the posts usually contain
four paragraphs or less, plus a link to the source quoted. The page you
are viewing now contains nearly 155,000 words but would be much longer
if the full texts linked to were included.
The organization is only partial -- sorry, it was a crisis-driven group
effort in a not-so-well adapted medium. So there may be info relating
to the same topic in more than one section. To find info on a particular
topic, I recommend you search this page for key words, and be sure to
search through the whole page.
I apologize that, at least for now, many of the links are truncated
and won't work; but there are hundreds of links that would need to be
mended, and when I found access to the original thread denied at least from certain directions, I became concerned that it might be worthwhile to preserve
a copy of the info, even if incomplete, in this form. To get the full URL for any link, try going
to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=106x22805
and look for it under the applicable post number indicated below.
If the full link is not shown, right-click on what there is of it and
you should have the option to copy the full link.
The dates in the post headings generally refer to the date on which
the info was found, rather than the date of the source. I do not vouch
for the accuracy of the information, which was compiled from a wide array of sources and which some posters augmented with their own editorial comments.
The first 6th or so is just topic headings; so, like, unless you want an overivew, pls just skip to the words/phrases you're interested in, or the substantive stuff in general.

Original message
DUers Katrina Research Thread: Organized by categories
I am starting this thread to organize information about hurricane Katrina.
Please please please help keep this site organized. We need a place
where people can find information fast. Here is the design. First I
will establish categories as replies to the original post. Each of these
will be like a folder. If you have links to articles please put them
in the right folder-reply-post. The folder-reply-category-posts will
have names such as the following:
Before K: Info about the likely consequences Scientific articles
Befork K: Info about likely consequences madia articles
Before K: What the Government knew
Just before K: Weather and news alerts
Just before K: Govt action..city, state, fed
Before K: FEMA
During K: FEMA
After K: FEMA
If you add any information to these categories, please format the information
as follows:
subject line: date first, title of article
message area: link to the article(that has been refreshed), brief description
of the article or post from it so that someone can immediately figure
out what it is about.
Please use this thread only to organize material into categories. If
you do not see your category already listed, please only add new categories
if you use the format listed above: pre- K, during K, and after K. Tomorrow
we will start a new category called after September 8.
Please also do not use this thread to post replies, comments, or request
for information.
Thanks for your understanding and patience while I get this organized.
If you want to help in this endeavor, I would love to have your support.
I am no Lone Ranger and could use help getting this organized. If you
can help, please PM me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks so much : grouphug:

Expert: Katrina could unleash disaster
Monday, August 29, 2005; Posted: 11:54 a.m. EDT (15:54 GMT) Levees,
such as this one along Bayou Lafourche, are vulnerable because they're
made of earth, an expert says.
-- Flooding from Hurricane Katrina's Monday landfall could wreak catastrophe
on New Orleans, overwhelming the city's water and sewage systems and
leaving survivors in a bowl of toxic soup, a top hurricane expert said.

249. Buses were used to PU people at 12 locations:
Buses were used to pick up people at 12 locations - Prior to storm
Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 04:59 AM by DoYouEverWonder
Sunday, August 28, 2005
Around 112,000 Orleanians do not own cars, according to census data.
Nagin urged those people to seek rides with friends, family, neighbors
and church members. Those who could not find rides were urged to get
to the Superdome as quickly as possible.
Regional Transit Authority buses were scheduled to ferry people to the
dome from 12 locations around the city beginning at noon today.
Meantime, to make sure word of the mandatory evacuation gets out, Nagin
said that police and fire crews would be driving through neighborhoods
Sunday with bullhorns, directing people to leave.
The evacuation order contained exemptions for certain people, including
city, state and federal officials, inmates of the parish prison, those
in hospitals, tourists staying in hotels and members of the media.
An emergency order Nagin announced Sunday in declaring the mandatory
evacuation gives authorities the right to commandeer private buildings
and vehicles — including boats — as they see fit.
The mayor did not say which buildings might be seized for public use.
For the time being, the Superdome will be used as a “shelter of
last resort” for those unable to evacuate the city. If the dome
fills to capacity, other buildings could be appropriated, Nagin said.
Nagin said the dome’s availability to residents doesn’t
mean that going there is a good idea.http://www.nola.com/newslogs/breakingtp/index.ssf?/mtlo

265. 9/9: Simulation Just Pre-K Predicted 61,290 Dead
Hurricane Simulation Predicted 61,290 Dead
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
By RON FOURNIER and TED BRIDIS
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050909/ap_on_re_us/katrina... ;_ylt=AotFRjeFf_Ee0quwpSe6Qums0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3MjBwMWtkBHNlYwM3MTg
- As Katrina roared into the Gulf of Mexico, emergency planners pored
over maps and charts of a hurricane simulation that projected 61,290
dead and 384,257 injured or sick in a catastrophic flood that would
leave swaths of southeast Louisiana uninhabitable for more than a year.
These planners were not involved in the frantic preparations for Katrina.
By coincidence, they were working on a yearlong project to prepare federal
and state officials for a Category 3 hurricane striking New Orleans.
Their fictitious storm eerily foreshadowed the havoc wrought by Category
4 Katrina a few days later, raising questions about whether government
leaders did everything possible — as early as possible —
to protect New Orleans residents from a well-documented threat.
After watching many of their predictions prove grimly accurate, "Hurricane
Pam" planners now hope they were wrong about one detail —
the death toll. The 61,290 estimate is six times what New Orleans Mayor
C. Ray Nagin has warned people to expect.

to thousands of Florida residents who were unaffected by Hurricane Frances
and three other hurricanes last year in an effort to help President
Bush win a majority of votes in that state during his reelection campaign,

348. Sept 10: Santorum slams pre K weather forecasting!
Santorum criticizes Weather Service
Has sponsored bill to prevent government weather notices, to benefit
private companies, including donor
Saturday, September 10, 2005
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
By Maeve Reston, Post-Gazette National Bureau
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Rick Santorum, who has sponsored legislation to limit
the information that the National Weather Service can provide to the
public, told radio reporters this week that Congress should investigate
whether the federal agency's initial warnings on the severity of Hurricane
Katrina were adequate.
The Pennsylvania Republican's remarks drew fire from a union representing
employees of the National Weather Service, which is a subsidiary of
the U.S. Commerce Department's National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.
They also were closely scrutinized by Democrats, who have contended
that his legislation is intended to benefit private weather companies,
at least one of which has contributed to his campaign.
During a conference call that Santorum conducted with Pennsylvania radio
reporters Thursday, a public radio correspondent asked him about the
weather service's performance in preparing Gulf Coast residents for
Hurricane Katrina and whether the rescue and recovery response could
have been improved if his legislation had been law.
Santorum said he didn't think the weather service had given "sufficient
warning" initially about the hurricane's path or what its impact
would be when it hit Florida. He said he was "not going to suggest
there were any major errors," but that the adequacy of the warnings
should to be investigated along with other aspects of how government
agencies have dealt with Katrina.

202. Sept 3: Red Cross barred from NOLA
http://www.redcross.org/faq/0,1096,0_682_4524,00.html#4...
Disaster FAQs (Red Cross web site)
Hurricane Katrina: Why is the Red Cross not in New Orleans?
Acess to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities
and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot enter
New Orleans against their orders.
The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues
to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans
following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating
and encourage others to come into the city.

280. Homeland Security
LA Homeland Security *confirms* ARC kept out!
by shock
Fri Sep 2nd, 2005 at 21:24:54 PDT
I just called the (Federal) Dept. of Homeland security (202-282-8000)
and asked them the following question:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/3/02454/07418
LA Homeland Security *confirms* ARC kept out! "Is it true what
the American Red Cross has reported that they have not been allowed
into the city of New Orleans by the DHS since Hurricane Katrina because
their 'presence would keep people from evacuating'"?
First, they put me on hold. Then I heard 2 beeps and the click that
I assume means they were recording me. Then they asked me my name. (I
told them, but now I sort of regret it...) Then they transferred me
to Chris at the "Law Enforcement Fusion Desk". I read my question
again.
snip
Then I asked who at the DHS was responsible for the policy that kept
the Red Cross out.
He said that would have to be Michael Chertoff.

433. 9/13 E-mail from friend Re- a Cameraman's View
(He mentions that the Red Cross COULD easily get in if they wanted to,
but that they and most of the media seemed to be afraid--but that it
wasn't really that dangerous, because all the cameraman encountered
while criss-crossing the city were exhausted pleas for help.)
Katrina: a cameraman's journal in NOLA <http://www.boingboing.net/2005/09/13/katrina_a_camerama...
>
Xeni Jardin:
Excerpt from a personal diary written by a friend who's a news cameraman
working in New Orleans. Name and affiliation withheld by request. This
was written on Sunday, September 4th, six days after the storm hit.
New Orleans - The Real Story
It’s September 4th in New Orleans, and unfortunately - no one
is getting it right, not the Feds, the State, the Local folks or the
media. I’m sure that many people are trying, but for what ever
reason- it is a rotting, deteriorating mess.
I’m only writing this because of what I watched on tv last night.
It was the first chance I’ve had to see some of the coverage and
what I watched was pathetic. I sensed it yesterday when, amongst the
chaos of the unfolding disaster, you realized some of the differences
between what is happening here compared to major calamities we’ve
endured recently.
There are almost no news crews in the field trying to cover the story.
Hundreds, if not thousands of media people are in the region - but I
have driven back and forth through some of the worst neighborhoods in
the city and you don’t see them. You don’t see the National
Guard…..you don’t see ANYONE, except for the poor unfortunate
souls wandering the streets looking for food or water. Many of them
are on their last legs; they are literally not long for this world.
It is surreal; it’s like a zombie scene from Dawn of the Dead.
It’s disgraceful that in our times, we are seeing the complete
disintegration of our ability to care for our own.
This is a racist issue, there& |
