Forensics report on Levee Failures Christian Roselund 2006-05-23 3:00 PM
A group of forensics experts led by some professors from UC Berkeley released a damning 738-page report on the levee failures during hurricane Katrina. They found a system that was "pervasively flawed" (surprise, surprise), and said that the failure was at all levels of government, including the Feds, the local levee board, and to a lesser extent the Army Corps of Engineers. The website below contains a .pdf (adobe acrobat file) of the entire report (audio/mpeg + 2 comments)

The Broadmoor Green Space Migratory Bird Refuge Wetlands Reclamation Project Brian Denzer 2006-05-13 12:59 PM
When the Bring New Orleans Back Commission released its first vision for the future of New Orleans, it issued maps which featured green dots where neighborhoods would be converted into green spaces. Carey Herman and her husband Paul Rogers are doing their share to fulfill the plan. For two years, they’ve had a giant pothole caused by a water valve leak in front of their house. When they returned to their once-flooded home in the Broadmoor neighborhood, they turned the pothole into a grass-lined garden with a pond. It’s one of the unique ways in which New Orleanians are using humor to adjust to the new reality of living in a post-Katrina world. 8:14, 3.4 mb, 56 kbps. (audio/mpeg)

Help Restore Dignity and Water to the Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans Emily 2006-04-25 1:33 AM
Over seven months have passed since Katrina destroyed New Orleans and levee failures inundated the Big Easy. Much of New Orleans is well along the road to recovery. The French Quarter is once again crawling with tourists and the banking district is up and running. However, if you travel just a few miles east of downtown--to the other side of the Industrial Canal—you find yourself in a neighborhood that does not look much different than it did in September. There are no businesses operating, no schools in session, no electricity, no FEMA trailers, and no RUNNING WATER. (text/plain)
