Answer 3

After Hurricane Katrina, short-term responses included search and rescue operations, providing emergency shelter, and delivering food and water to survivors. Long-term responses involved rebuilding infrastructure, restoring the economy, and addressing the social, economic, and environmental impacts of the disaster. Efforts were made to improve disaster preparedness and response capabilities to mitigate the impact of future disasters.

Answer 4

Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans (and probably some others on the way) causing prolonged flooding and mass exodus and homelessness. The parishes of southeast Louisiana suffered the same sort of damage as in Hurricane Betsy in 1965, but on an even greater scale. In some areas east of New Orleans, nearly all of the structures were destroyed or irreparably damaged.

The Gulf Coast of Mississippi suffered the same catastrophic storm surge damage as it suffered in Hurricane Camille in 1969, with structures demolished as much as a mile from the shore. Huge barges that housed gambling casinos were sunk or washed inland. Roads and bridges were washed away.

Coastal Louisiana lost a substantial part of its offshore barrier islands, and extensive loss of wetlands. The oil industry was hard hit by destruction of onshore and offshore facilities.

It was reported that more than 1,800 people died, and more than $81 billion dollars in damages was caused. Many residents who lost homes and businesses would never return to the area. Those who did faced years of reduced employment, reduced public services, and a general lack of economic opportunities. The city of New Orleans lost more than half of its residents to less-damaged suburban areas. Some areas would never be restored, and others could take a generation or more to rebuild.

Answer 5

Well the primary effects are the things that happen immediatly after it has happened... e.g bulidings/roads being destroyed

secondary is where things happen after a short period of time e.g crops not growing, nowhere to live

Answer 6

earthquake shave primary violent impacts followed by long-lasting secondary impacts. in sparely populated areas, large earthquakes might not cause many casualties. in big cities, even relatively small earthquakes could kill thousands of people. while the primary effects are dangerous and deadly, the secondary effects, especially if help is not available or adequate can be much worse. Though thousands died in the earthquake in Haiti in early 2010, the longer lasting effects are proving just as deadly, according to Common Dreams.

Answer 7

- the city turned into a violent place

- many residents had nowhere to live and moved to other cities

- people still had to pay mortgages on their ruined homes

- governments had to spend billions on damage and uninsured property losses
