Hurricane Katrina Hurricane
Katrina was a powerful tropical cyclone which caused extensive and severe damage
in the southeastern United States and will likely become the worst natural disaster
to hit the United States with major global economic consequences caused by disruption
of oil supplies, exports, and imports. Disaster relief plans are in operation
in the affected communities. Some experts predict one million people could become
homeless as a result of the storm. Currently five million people are without power
in the Gulf Coast region, and it may be two months before all power is restored. The aftermath of the storm compounded problems. In particular, the breaching of some levees protecting New Orleans caused water to flow unabated into the city. Katrina may be the deadliest hurricane in the United States of America since the Galveston Hurricane. The Galveston hurricane of 1900 killed around 8,000 (possibly up to 12,000) people.

Katrina is also expected to be the costliest natural disaster in United States history. Victims of Hurricane Katrina are attempting to recover from the massive storm that is still making its way across the Mid-Atlantic States. American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina’s destruction, supplying hundreds of thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. By making a financial gift to Hurricane 2005 Relief, the Red Cross can provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need.
