Mississippi After Katrina

On August 29th, 2005, Katrina Hit Us....We Fought Back.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast is returning to normal operations in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Our beautiful Coast suffered immense damage, but momentum is growing as we continue the rebuilding phase of recovery.

The "Mississippi: Beyond Katrina" Website can answer many of your questions about recovery updates, recovery and rebuilding, and what to expect.

(Quick Fact: Over 50 million cubic yards of debris were collected within the first 10 months after Hurricane Katrina. By comparison, 25 million cubic yards of debris were collected after the San Francisco earthquake that leveled that city at the turn of the last century.)
