In 2005, this hurricane devastated New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf coast, causing nearly 1,400 fatalities and estimated damages of almost $200 billion.
The largest loss of life in Hurricane Katrina was due to flooding caused by engineering flaws in the flood protection system, particularly the levees around the city of New Orleans. The emergency response from federal, state, and local governments was also widely criticized.
