At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest US hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane.
It should be noted that officially, 1464 of these deaths took place within New Orleans.
Hurricane Katrina is estimated to have caused the deaths of over 1,800 people in the United States, primarily in the state of Louisiana.
As of January 22, 2009, NOAA reports that Hurricane Gustav was directly responsible for the following deaths:[Total - 112] USA - 11 (Louisiana 7, Florida 4) Haiti - 77 Jamaica - 15 Dominican Republic - 8 At sea deaths - 1

Hurricane Katrina resulted in about 1,833 confirmed fatalities in the U.S., primarily in Louisiana. The Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 caused an estimated 230,000 to 280,000 deaths across 14 countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Hurricane Katrina was the most expensive hurricane in terms of destruction, and it was certainly among the worst natural disasters to hit the USA since 1900. About 1800 residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast died, either directly or indirectly as a result of Katrina. However, Katrina was not the worst in terms of number of deaths. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 killed an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 people, while the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, killed around 2,500.
Hurricane Katrina, which struck in 2005, caused significant damage and loss of life. The exact number of people left homeless, injured, and killed is difficult to determine. The hurricane resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and displaced hundreds of thousands of people, leaving many homeless and injured.
