Vera-Grunauer, M.ASCE14; and J. Wartman, M.ASCE15 Abstract: The failure of the New Orleans regional flood protection systems, and the resultant catastrophic flooding of much of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, represents the most costly failure of an engineered system in U.S. history. This paper presents an overview of the principal events that unfolded in the central portion of the New Orleans metropolitan region during this hurricane, and addresses the levee failures and breaches that occurred along the east–west trending section of the shared Gulf Intracoastal Waterway/ Mississippi River Gulf Outlet channel, and along the Inner Harbor Navigation Channel, that affected the New Orleans East, the St. Bernard Parish, and the Lower Ninth Ward protected basins. The emphasis in this paper is on geotechnical lessons, and also broader lessons with regard to the design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of major flood protection systems. Significant lessons learned here in the central region include: ͑1͒ the need for regional-scale flood protection systems to perform as systems, with the various components meshing well together in a mutually complementary manner; ͑2͒ the importance of considering all potential failure modes in the engineering design and evaluation of these complex systems; and ͑3͒ the problems inherent in the construction of major regional systems over extended periods of multiple decades.

  • Chapter 3: the Context: Previous Planning and the Charter Amendment
    Volume 3 chapter 3 THE CONTEXT: PREVIOUS PLANNING AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT his 2009–2030 New Orleans Plan for the 21st Century builds on a strong foundation of previous planning and a new commitment to strong linkage between planning and land use decision making. City Planning Commission initiatives in the 1990s, the pre-Hurricane Katrina years, and the neighborhood-based recovery plans created after Hurricane Katrina inform this long-term Tplan. Moreover, the City entered a new era in November 2008 when voters approved an amendment to the City Charter that strengthened the relationship between the city’s master plan, the comprehensive zoning ordinance and the city’s capital improvement plan, and mandated creation of a system for neighborhood participation in land use and development decision-making—popularly described as giving planning “the force of law.” A Planning Districts For planning purposes, the City began using a map in 1970 designating the boundaries and names of 73 neighborhoods. When creating the 1999 Land Use Plan, the CPC decided to group those 73 neighborhoods into 13 planning districts, using census tract or census block group boundaries for statistical purposes. In the post-Hurricane Katrina era, the planning districts continue to be useful, while the neighborhood identity designations, though still found in many publications, are often contested by residents.

  • Port NOLA PIER Plan
    Port NOLA PIER Plan DRAFT Port Inner Harbor Economic Revitalization Plan (PIER Plan) DRAFT February 2020 DRAFT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO Together with the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans, I am pleased to share the Port Inner Harbor Economic Revitalization Plan (PIER Plan) — a collaborative vision to revitalize the Inner Harbor District, increase commercial activity and create quality jobs for area residents. The Port NOLA Strategic Master Plan, adopted in 2018, laid out a bold vision for the next 20 years and a roadmap for growth that identified a need for regional freight-based economic development. This planning effort provided the framework for the PIER Plan. Brandy D. Christian President and CEO, Evolution in global shipping trends, changes in investment Port of New Orleans and New Orleans Public Belt Railroad strategies and multiple natural disasters have left the Port’s Corporation Inner Harbor in need of a new plan that aligns with our strategic vision and supports our economic mission. Port NOLA’s role as a port authority is to plan, build, maintain and support the infrastructure to grow jobs and economic opportunitiesDRAFT related to trade and commerce. We know that revitalization and future development cannot be done in a vacuum, so collaboration is at the core of the PIER Plan as well. True to our values, we engaged and worked with a diverse range of stakeholders in the process — including government agencies, industry, tenants, and neighboring communities as hands-on, strategic partners. The PIER Plan sets a course for redevelopment and investment in the Inner Harbor that reverberates economic prosperity beyond Port property and throughout the entire region.

  • The Stories of Five Communities
    SURVIVING CANCER ALLEY The Stories of Five Communities Report supported by the Climate Advocacy Lab CANCER ALLEY The Mississippi River Chemical Corridor produces one-fifth of the United States' petrochemicals and transformed one of the poorest, slowest-growing sections of Louisiana into working class communities. Yet this growth has not come without a cost: the narrow corridor absorb more toxic substances annually than do most entire states.1 An 85-mile stretch along the corridor, infamously known as "Cancer Alley," is home to more than 150 heavy industrial facilities, and the air, water, and soil along this corridor are so full of carcinogens and mutagens that it has been described as a "massive human experiment."2 According to the Centers for Disease Control, Louisiana has consistently ranked among the states with the highest rates of cancer. Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping by the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice not only shows a correlation between industrial pollution and race in nine Louisiana parishes along the Corridor, but also finds that pollution sources increase as the population of African Americans increases.

  • Introduction
    Introduction More than ten years after the worst disaster to befall any U.S. city in American history—necessitating the almost total evacuation of the population—the City of New Orleans has exceeded expectations in population recovery. 1 By the end of 2015, the city had regained nearly 86% of its pre-Katrina population, with nearly 390,000 people calling the city home.1 More than half of neighborhoods have recovered over 90 percent of the population they had before the levees failed.2 Only four neighborhoods have less than half the population they had prior to Katrina; the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the City’s most damaged neighborhoods; and three neighborhoods which include three public housing sites that have been demolished to make way for new mixed–income housing.3 Despite the City’s remarkable population recovery, there are still challenges that remain as we shift our focus from recovery to resilience. This chapter describes the post-World War II demographic and land use trends that shaped the New Orleans of today. This period in New Orleans’ history is part of a larger story of urban decline which lasted through the 1990s and affected all American cities—and the beginning of an urban renaissance that gathered steam in the early 2000s and continues today. New Orleans was part of this story, including the beginnings of urban renaissance, in its own way and based on its own history. While Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the levee system severely impacted the progress of the City, more than 10 years after the storm the City has overcome many challenges.

  • The Vietnamese Americans of Black New Orleans East | 117
    The Vietnamese Americans of Black New Orleans East | 117 A Gulf Unites Us: The Vietnamese Americans of Black New Orleans East Eric Tang ing’s Meat Market and Grocery sits on the northern end of the Broad Street bridge in the midcity section of New Orleans. When storeowner KMike Tran returned to King’s six weeks after Hurricane Katrina, he found only a shell of what once was. In addition to being flooded, the store had been broken into and his entire stock of nonperishable goods stolen, along with some cash and office equipment. Meanwhile the stench of rotten meat choked the air for blocks. “I just cried,” said Tran, who had built the business from scratch. At thirty-two, he is the youngest child of Vietnamese American refugees who resettled to New Orleans after the U.S. war in Vietnam.1 On the opposite end of the bridge sits Orleans Parish Prison (OPP). Here, more than 1,200 prisoners, the overwhelming majority black men, were stranded as the hurricane tore through the city and as the floodwaters steadily rose. These prisoners were abandoned without food, water, or proper ventilation. Two days passed before any of the prisoners were evacuated. By then, the waters in some of the cells had reached chest level. Several died as a result of the unbearable conditions. “They were screaming for their lives,” one witness testified.2 Among those eventually evacuated, some were taken to the bridge, where heavily armed Louisiana state troopers detained them. As it happened, this was not the only bridge in New Orleans where blacks were being held at gunpoint.

  • Rigging the Real Estate Market: Segregation, Inequality, and Disaster Risk
    DATA CENTER RESEARCH . ORG The New Orleans Prosperity Index: Tricentennial Collection Rigging the Real Estate Market: Segregation, Inequality, and Disaster Risk STACY SEICSHNAYDRE, TULANE LAW SCHOOL ROBERT A. COLLINS, DILLARD UNIVERSITY CASHAUNA HILL, GREATER NEW ORLEANS FAIR HOUSING ACTION CENTER MAXWELL CIARDULLO, GREATER NEW ORLEANS FAIR HOUSING ACTION CENTER Introduction New Orleans history and culture is rooted in a unique sense of place. Yet beneath a shared sense of tradition and culture lies another reality marked by separation and disadvantage. The historical and contemporary dividing lines in New Orleans, like in most American cities, fall along categories (and gradients) of black and white, race and ethnicity. Gaining an understanding of the history of neigh- borhood segregation in New Orleans is essential to appreciating contemporary racial disparities in wealth, access to opportunity, and vulnerability to disaster risk. Residential racial segregation is not a neutral phenomenon for blacks. Research demonstrates that “blacks on average remain more physically isolated from jobs than members of any other racial group.”1 Housing segregation contributes to unequal exposure to crime and violence, environmental health hazards, and threats to physical and mental health.2 For children, the concentrated neighborhood poverty associated with segregation can be catastrophic, as “child poverty can lead to chronic, toxic stress that disrupts the architec- ture of the developing brain…”3 Segregation also results in a peculiar dynamic where, regardless of income, blacks are more likely to live in a high poverty neighborhood than whites.4 This paper will examine an array of government policies and practices, reinforced by the private sector, which created artificial racial segregation in New Orleans and across the U.S.
