The Response to Hurricane Katrina

1 *This case study accompanies the IRGC report Risk Governance Deficits: An analysis and illustration of the most common deficits in risk governance . The Response to Hurricane Katrina By Donald P. Moynihan1 Hurricane Katrina occurred four years after the attacks of 9/11, three years after the subsequent creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and one year after the DHS had created a National Response Plan. But despite the heightened attention to homeland security, the Response to Katrina was a failure. The world watched as government responders seemed unable to offer basic protection from the ravages of nature. The titles of two congressional reports summarised the sense of failure. A Select House Committee [House Report, 2006] identified A Failure of Initiative while the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs [Senate Report, 2006] judged the United States A Nation Still Unprepared.

The Katrina disaster cannot be classified as a surprise. In both the short and long-run, ample warning of the coming disaster was met with insufficient preparation. The consequences of a major hurricane had been long-anticipated for New Orleans in particular, due to the dangers of a levee collapse for a coastal city built mostly below sea level.
