PUA 440 Case Study 3

Ignoring the fact that much of New Orleans was below sea level and the three listed places aren't, I think we can all agree the answer is no---but not for the reasons you think. Also forgive me, many are direct quotes.

storms and tornadoes if they live in rural areas. People who live on the Eastern seaboard

Growing up in a southern state can be such a great and terrifying thing such as the environment. While living in Franklin, la a small town which is populated by only 2,000 people can become quite boring where as South beach Miami, fl is home to 91,000 people with a billion things to do. For instance South Beach has tons of beaches with clear blue water that you can see the bottom floor. As for Franklin the beaches are artificial and man made with dirty trash filled water that's caused by the nasty oil filled plants. During the horrible time of hurricane season both states have to worry about tremendous storms coming through possibly even loosing not just a home but everything. In addition to hurricane their is a great chance of flash flood

55). This is because things like a small flood would effect croplands differently than an urban center. A crop my actually benefit from silt deposits but the New York Stock Exchange would not. However, when disasters increase in scale they almost always have a significant impact on the economy (World Bank & United Nations, 2010, p. 55). Unfortunately, even though these impacts may be short-term there are third order effects on the economy. After Hurricane Katrina many areas were completely abandoned but many more were bought by developers pushing out the lower income populations, completely changing the local economy. This also highlights the different effect that disasters have on different demographics. As an example, the economies of developing countries are effected more by disasters then those of developed nations (World Bank & United Nations, 2010, p. 56). Although this may be because of population density or lack of infrastructure, it shows that demographics as well as the disaster itself have influence over the impact on local economy and

Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana on August 29th, 2005, but the failure of the local government started before this day “by allowing building and growing in areas in low flood lands.” The local government did not regulate these land areas that have always

Hurricane Katrina was a big threat to the coastal areas of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and the governor declared a state of emergency in reaction towards potential destruction the hurricane may fall in New Orleans, a major city in Louisiana. To prepare for the threat of Hurricane Katrina, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), was sent to Louisiana to help aid the state. Later, a big disaster befalls in the state of Louisiana, and the governor declared a national evacuation. New Orleans, the heavily populated city, ordered its citizen to evacuate in the Superdome, with food, shelter, and rations being distributed. After the state evacuation was made, there was a shortage of food, water, and operable toilet facilities, thus creating

On the other hand this was much different in the USA. Many who could afford to decided to move out of the worst areas hit like the New Orleans. The effect of this was a long term change to the areas demographic which resulted in economic consequences as those moving were generally the economically active. This resulted in the problem of the poorest being left behind leading to long term impacts such as deprivation.

Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes to hit the United States in decades. The economic losses were extraordinary; however, it was the human losses that stuck Americans at their core. The media brought into our homes graphic images of the destruction of New Orleans. Its mayor had ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city and yet 150,000 citizens are said to have stayed. Like most of the nation I asked myself, “Well why did they stay? If a mandatory evacuation is issued, it stands to reason that state officials considered the situation to be precarious.” It is only recently, when I’ve seen reports of New Orleans slow rebuilding, that I have really given thought to the undisclosed factors that lead to such

The issue with the re-developing of New Orleans is an area that has been debated between governors, investors, urban planners, residents and other professionals since hurricane Katrina, the costliest “natural” disaster in 2005. This wonderful place, is a Louisiana city near the Gulf of Mexico. Its strategic position, becomes the exit of the great Mississippi-Missouri river system, which drains the interior North of America. New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

To start the argument, we will begin with tornadoes. Tornadoes are generally located in the central part of the U.S. but can also touch the ground in other countries. According to Source 2, Central U.S.A. is mainly flat, allowing about 1,300 tornadoes hit this area of the U.S. per year and, because of this, about 500 million dollars is used to repair damage.

Disasters, whether natural or manmade, can happen anytime and anywhere, without warning. An earthquake, hurricane, tornado, fire, or hazardous material spill or even an act of terrorism can happen

Build the Wall! Build the Wall! We want the wall! Currently, these are the things that we are hearing in the United States. Building a wall to not allow immigrants to cross into our border. Except, we are not the only country, that deals with immigration. What exactly is immigration? Immigration is the international movement of people into a destination of where they are not native’s country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle there. Immigration has its pros and its cons. Immigration policies can be related to four other aspects of policy: political, economic, social, and demographic. Economic issues are medium term decisions, while, social issues are long-term concerns. Let’s talk about

human agent. Therefore ticking Coplan’s first level of engagement in the process. If for example the filmmakers chose to introduce Carl like how they do with Russel (voiced by Jordan Nagai), by him just simply appearing to the audience in a moment, or like the other characters, who are introduced in the middle of action. The audience wouldn’t be given the chance to recognise Carl as an individual like they can now and therefore they wouldn’t be able to engage with him. Which, if you’ve watched Up (2009), you know it’s not the case.

The City of New Orleans is a remarkable city and has enormous potential for expansion.

Census data from the last 2 Censuses reveal population migration patterns through changes in Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSAs) populations. The data shows that certain metropolitan areas are growing while others are declining. Many Southern cities and Western cities are rapidly rising in population as economic industries settle and family-friendly conditions allow innovation and education to thrive. One strong example of this is the Raleigh-Cary MSA, in North Carolina, which has experienced rapid growth in recent decades from increased economic dominance in government and education sector. New Orleans is an extreme exception for these regions, with the population being greatly reduced because of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Cleveland and
