Flood Insurance During Hurricane Katrina
Flooding has been a continual issue since the first settlers arrived in America. Using methods to deter and/or collect water protects the communities living in that area, but proper maintenance to those barriers must be ensured. Without proper maintenance to these infrastructures, levees can break, dams can crack or collapse leaving disaster behind. Hurricane Katrina’s faulty levees reveal the extreme consequences of neglecting these protectors in places where people depend on them (Wenger, 247). There were many devastating disasters that prompted new analysis and evaluation on flooding conditions and methods to reduce damage and cost. Flood insurance was established for areas that are located within the floodplain (302), as well as the

    Findlay Flood Research Paper

    “The solution to corralling all of this rain that happens periodically is to build an earthbound levee while diverting Eagle and Lye Creeks. The flood proposal of 1962 suggested exactly these measures when it was submitted to the City Council. The proposal was even voted in by the council and sent to Congress in October of 1963.”(Fuller, para.9). Fuller went on to say “The earth levee proposed in 1962 was to be built near the reservoir. The levee was to stand 3 to 4 feet higher than the level of the 1913 flood. The levee would be able to hold water running at 32,000 cubic feet per second. This is the best solution for taking care of the rain as the levee would keep the city from filling with water should another major flood occur.”(para. 12). Then Fuller added, “Diverting Eagle and Lye Creeks would begin to the south of Findlay, taking Eagle Creek to the east where it would meet up with Lye Creek. The channel would then turn north and be able to hold water running at 8,500 cubic feet per second. A weir would be constructed downstream from Eagle Creek allowing for a gated conduit in the levee barrier. A second gate would be placed where Eagle Creek merges with the Blanchard River. The gates would allow for run off to flow into the river.”(para. 13). This is a very logical solution because most of the equiptment is already in place, it is a costly…

    MBA Questions week 1

    Frequent flooding of the Mississippi River in the 1960’s significantly drove up the federal disaster-relief programs costs. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was introduced by Congress to provide flood insurance to the public to communities which adhere to specific city planning set forth by FEMA. The program was successful at providing flood insurance at reasonable rates but it was criticized by many who believed that the program encouraged imprudent building in flood zones. We have learned that subsidies destroy wealth by allowing lower-valued consumers to buy higher valued assets. The environmental costs of building in such areas when added to the actual cost of subsidization are far greater than the gains of the subsidy. Furthermore, without these subsidies tax money would have been spent on higher valued uses. Congress has typically set the flood insurance rate too low effectually subsidizing building in flood areas at taxpayers expense. Hurricane Katrina and other storms have put the program in debt by $19 billion dollars. FEMA has recently redrawn their flood maps. People who previously thought they were outside of the flood zone are now learning that they are in flood prone areas. Mortgages typically require homes in high risk flood zones to have mandatory flood insurance. A home may have been grandfathered in to be exempt of the new zoning but this will become a nightmare if you decide to sell. What may have previously cost you several hundred dollars a year may cost a new buyer several thousand a year. One a potential buyer hears that news they may bail out on the sale which can have a domino effect and potentially decrease market values for neighboring homes which is tremendously inefficient.…

    Johnstown Flood Analysis

    Having taken classes about Pennsylvania history in high school and being familiar with this horrible flood, I was very happy with this book. The author, David McCullough, does a masterful job setting the scene, the politics surrounding the dam and the subsequent failure of that dam. Johnstown was a typical American town for that day and time. People worked hard and earned little. The environment was polluted to some extent, but no one considered it a major issue. Nearly everyone considered the dam a threat, but only a few moved to improve the conditions. Huge disparities existed between the rich, the middle class and the poor. These disparities were more than money, but…

    The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)

    The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a Federal operated program run by FEMA that was “created by Congress to mitigate future flood losses nationwide through sound, community-enforced building and zoning ordinances and to provide access to affordable, federally backed flood insurance protection for property owners” (DHS, 2011, 1). There is a lot of risk associated with development of land for commercial and or residential use. There areas could be in zones that are known to flood periodically, so flood mitigation plans and strategies must be developed and enforced this will eventually save money in the long run. According to Kerjan, “the program is responsible for several key functions: developing the flood maps, establishing the…

    Mississippi River Levees Essay

    They installed even more levees, spillways, and damns to ‘prevent’ flood losses, but by doing this they encouraged more people to move into a place that was not safe to inhabit. This issue became to be known as the ‘levee effect.’ The project was supposed to be a 13 year and 85 million dollar deal, but when Katrina hit 740 million dollars had been spent, and the project was still 10 years from being finished. There were a vast number of problems in the system that was being created. In 1984, a storm-surge modeler at the National Weather Service named Wilson Shaffer told the officials in charge of the project that the hypothetical storm that was used to test levee designs was too small to correspond with the threat that would be…

    Hurricane Katrina Evaluation

    Hurricane Katrina started a tropical depression on August 23rd, 2005. On August 27th, President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency for the states of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. By August 28th, Katrina become a Category 5 hurricane. However, when Katrina made landfall in Louisiana on August 29th, 2005, it was a weakened Category 3 hurricane. As Katrina made landfall, the levees in the greater New Orleans area began to fail causing large amounts of water to begin flooding the city. With the flooding of the city, came the communication failures causing a lack of communication throughout the city. As Katrina passed, the failure of the levees, caused many residents who did not evacuate to become strand waiting for help.. Many…

    Levee and New Orleans

    Although a considerable amount of the blame has been placed at the feet of FEMA, it should be understood that multiple factors contributed to the situation in New Orleans. Some sections of the levees had been poorly constructed, and were not properly maintained. Local agencies failed to adequately plan and prepare of such an event. Local officials waited too long to order an evacuation, and did not consider how to assist those citizens who lacked the financial resources evacuate on their own. (1,24)…

    The Importance Of Levees During Hurricane Katrina

    During the Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it is believed that leaders decided to blow up the levees to save the cities and places that brought in the most money and instead try to direct the water towards the wetlands and marshlands. There are different ideas regarding this topic. It is said that leaders promised restitution to the people who would lose their homes. Many people heard explosions and reported it. Officials said they were transformers blowing up. There is more evidence that the levees were blown up then transformers.…

    Natural Disaster Strikes In New Orleans

    The advancement of technology and the progress of man makes humans feel as though we are invincible, but when a natural disaster strikes we are reminded that Mother Nature still cannot be tamed and can strike at any time without warning. We have seen this in the past weeks with hurricane Harvey flooding Houston and displacing people who never in their life thought that their houses and neighborhoods might be underwater one day and left with nothing. Similar to current events, this image shows New Orleans, one of the largest cities in the world being put to its knees at the mercy of Mother Nature. As buildings are shrouded in the heavy rain and trees sagging in torrential winds. Being faced with such astounding force it’s easy to remember…

    Effects of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans

    While Katrina was unleashing its powerful storm on New Orleans and neighboring states, the levees built for keeping the city safe from water breeched on August 29th causing massive flooding and catastrophe. “By 9 a.m., low-lying places like St. Bernard Parish and the Ninth Ward were under so much water that people had to scramble to attics and rooftops for safety. Eventually, nearly 80 percent of the city was under some quantity of water” Even though parts of the highly effected areas were already qualified as below sea level, should those residents have been promised strong and…

    New Orleans Levees

    For years now the discussions have arose about the levee systems in America and how some are not safe and need to be replaced. This problem has been focused on the levee system in New Orleans. Many engineers and other people have asked the question whether or not the present levee system in New Orleans could withstand a huge wave or a direct hit from a powerful hurricane. These questions were answered when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans as a Category 3 hurricane which isn't even the most powerful. After the hurricane hit the levee system failed and there were many breaches in the system, which lead to the flooding of most of the city. My question is what could have been done to stop this disaster from happening and what now can be done now and in the future in New Orleans and other Mississippi River floodplains to stop serious flooding from occurring. There are many people out there with good ideas and they are never even looked upon. The government needs to stop looking at the financial concerns and it needs to start looking at the burden of its citizens and they need to fix the problem.…

    Louisiana Recovery

    In the New Orleans Times article, “Louisiana Flood of 2016: The 12 Stages of Recovery,” by JR Ball, updates his audience on the progression Louisiana has made. Although Louisiana residents realize the road to recovery will be long and hard, many are growing tired of all the devastation that has taken place. They constantly wonder how much devastation they can handle. Thome Dore, a frustrated Louisiana resident states, “People are saying they want things to return to normal, but who knows what the new normal will look like” (Ball 1)? In some communities, the flood has helped residents come together and help one another out. On the other hand, the flood has caused conflict with those who have suffered little damage versus major damage to…

    How a City Slowly Drowned

    This case summarizes events preceding the Hurricane Katrina, which was one of the worst natural catastrophes in the modern history of the USA. It raises questions about the lack of reasonable prevention and preparation actions due to flimsy structure and management of the responsible organizations and persons, invalidity and inconsistence of their actions and incapability of making the decisions in a timely manner. As a result of the unstructured and incoherent activities, we could observe several ineffective and costly attempts to mitigate floods and hurricanes. In the beginning the local officials, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and “White Houses past and present always seem penny-wise and pound-foolish” because of the chain of the wrong decisions, which is indicated by Republican Sen. David Vitter’s words “Instead of spending millions now, we are going to spend billions later” (Grunwald and Glasser).…
