Hurricane Katrina: GAO’s Preliminary Observations Regarding Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, GAO-06-442T, March 8, 2006. Highlights.

  • “The size and strength of Hurricane Katrina resulted in one of the largest natural disasters in our nation’s history. Hurricane Katrina raised major questions about our nation’s readiness and ability to respond to catastrophic disasters. Hurricane Rita increased demands on an already stressed response and recovery effort by all levels of government. The two hurricanes provided a sobering picture of the overwhelming strains on response and recovery if there are back-to-back catastrophic disasters in the same area.”
