Select one government stakeholder involved in the recovery of New Orleans
Question 1
Select one government stakeholder involved in the recovery of New Orleans and discuss the role of this stakeholder in the recovery phase of Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, many questions remained:
What should become of a city that is nearly 80% below sea level?
Should the city be allowed to rebuild?
If so, should stricter standards for recovery and hazard mitigation be passed before allowing reconstruction; or would such requirements just further delay recovery unnecessarily?
If cities like New Orleans continue to be rebuilt, who should pay?
Select one of the questions listed and present your answer.
Question 2
Describe the demographic and financial impacts on a recovering community when a large-scale disaster occurs, such as flooding. For example, does the same population return, are the same jobs available, how does this impact the economy and how does this impact the disaster recovery plan? Why is it important for emergency managers to have a disaster recovery plan?
