| Hurricane Katrina may well turn out to be the most devastating natural disaster in the nation's history. The impacts on our society and economy will be dramatic, and will be felt for years. Katrina is essentially two different disasters: first, the coastal destruction along the Gulf Coast in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana; second, the failure of structural protection of New Orleans, resulting in the long predicted "filling of the bowl" in the city below sea level. Early indications are that tens of thousands of structures may be damaged beyond repair, whole towns on the coast may be gone and New Orleans will literally be shut down for months. ASFPM will attempt to keep you informed of the key issues this disaster presents to the nation, in terms of policy, recovery and economics. | |||
