A decade later, journalist Gary Rivlin traces the storm's immediate damage, the city of New Orleans's efforts to rebuild itself, and the storm's lasting effects not just on the area's geography and infrastructure--but on the psychic, racial, and social fabric of one of this nation's great cities. Much of New Orleans still sat under water the first time Gary Rivlin glimpsed the city after Hurricane Katrina as a staff reporter for The New York Times. Four out of every five houses had been flooded. The deluge had drowned almost every power substation and rendered unusable most of the city's water and sewer system. Six weeks after the storm, the city laid off half its workforce--precisely when so many people were turning to its government for help. Meanwhile, cynics both in and out of the Beltway were questioning the use of taxpayer dollars to rebuild a city that sat mostly below sea level. How could the city possibly come back? -- Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Prologue: Water Rising - The Banker - Air Force One - Behind Enemy Lines - A First Burst of Optimism - The Shadow Government - Looking the Part - Cassandra - He Said, She Said - Rita - Brick by Brick - Blue Sky - Shrink the Footprint - Isle of Denial - Look and Leave - A Smaller, Taller City - Limbo - Chocolate City - The Mardi Gras Way of Life - Darkness Revealed - Road Home - "You'll See Cranes in the Sky" - Eight Feet Across - Fatigue - Vanilla City - Blight - The Sore Winner - Return to Splendor - "Get Over It" -- Epilogue 650 0 $a Hurricane Katrina, 2005 $x Social aspects $z New Orleans. $z New Orleans. 650 0 $a Hurricane Katrina, 2005 $x Economic aspects $z New Orleans. $z New Orleans. 650 0 $a Community development $z New Orleans. $z New Orleans. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 4 $a Louisiana $z New Orleans. 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Economics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902116 650 7 $a Community development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870818 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 651 7 $a Louisiana $z New Orleans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204311 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8622A2F0BE4811ED81E085594AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
