The emergency command centers were moved higher because all 3 coastal centers flooded at 30 ft (9 m) above sea level. Regulations were changed later for emergency centers and casinos. Afterward, 238 people died in Mississippi, and all counties in Mississippi were declared disaster areas, 49 for full federal assistance. The worst property damage from Katrina occurred in coastal Mississippi, where all towns flooded over 90% in hours, and waves destroyed many historic buildings, with others gutted to the 3rd story. Many, unable to evacuate, survived by climbing to attics or rooftops, or swimming to higher buildings and trees. and lasted over 17 hours, spawning 11 tornadoes (51 in other states) and a 28-foot (9 m) storm surge flooding 6–12 miles (10–19 km) inland. Hurricane-force winds reached coastal Mississippi by 2 a.m. Many coastal towns of Mississippi (and Louisiana) had already been obliterated, in a single night. and entering Tennessee as a tropical storm. CDT on August 29, 2005, the eye of Katrina began traveling up the entire state, only slowing from hurricane-force winds at Meridian near 7 p.m. Hurricane Katrina's winds and storm surge reached the Mississippi coastline on the morning of August 29, 2005.īeginning a two-day path of destruction through central Mississippi by 10 a.m. Part of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season ![]() ![]() Our online platform, Wiley Online Library () is one of the world’s most extensive multidisciplinary collections of online resources, covering life, health, social and physical sciences, and humanities.Hurricane Katrina almost at maximum intensity With a growing open access offering, Wiley is committed to the widest possible dissemination of and access to the content we publish and supports all sustainable models of access.

We conclude with a discussion exploring public policy and other implications of the disaster in a context of ever-increasing global, environmental, and social challenges. We examine how preexisting social trends were amplified, otherwise-latent social and cultural distinctions were exacerbated, and national resources and funds intended for broad-scale "recovery" were converted into instruments of capital formation and further concentration of wealth. We characterize some of the more salient human consequences across multiple sectors of the economy-including energy, finance, construction, housing, gaming, and commercial fisheries. Somewhat less predictable are the many social changes associated with the hurricane and public sector response to the event. The devastation was predicted, and absent massive and immediate action, the next major storm will inevitably produce additional disastrous outcomes. Storm surge and wind associated with Hurricane Katrina caused many deaths and the destruction of property and public infrastructure along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. ![]()
