Reconstruction of New Orleans : ウィキペディア英語版 | Reconstruction of New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 caused significant problems due to the breach of the flood protection system designed after 1965 to protect the city. Over 204,000 homes in New Orleans were damaged or destroyed, and more than 800,000 citizens displaced — the greatest displacement in the United States since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.〔(Fast Facts about the Aftermath )〕 While the wind damage was not as severe as had been projected by meteorologists and most buildings survived intact, the failure of the levee system caused extensive flooding in New Orleans and surrounding parishes and resulted in extensive water damage to nearly 80% of all structures in Orleans Parish. Reconstruction was hindered by bureaucratic problems and funding issues with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); however, several relief agencies filled the gap. Contractors initially worked on easy work, and the homeless population increased. However, by mid-June 2006, the city was again hosting conventions and promoting tourism. ==Reconstruction== By Monday, September 5, 2005 power began to be restored to buildings in the central business district of New Orleans on a priority basis.〔(LiveJournal.com - Start a Free Blog / Journal Today )〕 By Tuesday, September 6, 2005 the Port of New Orleans, the biggest U.S. port in terms of tonnage handled, was able to receive and service relief ships. It was estimated that resumption of commercial shipments would take at least 14 days.
