August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina hits the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. A plan of action was created only hours ahead of time. One can say the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina and the poor execution is a lesson learned for all officials who are the head of Natural Disaster Preparedness. Unfortunately 1200 lives were lost and the deadliest hurricane to hit the United States in over 75 years. With the state of Louisiana already lying below sea level and being warned by experts for years, hurricane Katrina is a vas lesson that came with a deadly

The devastating Hurricane Katrina left Louisiana, and the rest of America, distraught. The mighty category 5 hurricane left thousands of Louisiana residents without food, water and shelter. The devastation of the storm led the levies of the flood-protecting dam to break leaving the city underwater during the catastrophe. This natural disaster will go down in American history as the worst of its kind. Although all the unfortunate natural events that made this tragedy possible, the supervision of the event was almost as bad as the hurricane itself. There are many fingers to point at the different people handling the situation but one this is clear, it was not handled properly.

National Response Framework: This document was published by the Federal government, but it was developed with input from partner stakeholders: Federal agencies, States, local response organizations, and the private-sector. It is a guide to how the Nation: local, tribal, State, and Federal governments, and the private sector, conducts all-hazards response activities. It provides guidance on how roles, including yours, are aligned for efficiency and effectiveness during response operations. It is based on best practices identified following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and describes specific authorities and relationships for managing incidents that range from the serious, but strictly local, to large-scale

Known as one of the top five hurricanes in the United States, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Surely, it is remembered to have been disastrous to the city and those who were unable to evacuate on time. The warning of Hurricane Katrina was late, but many were still able to flee.

While our troops were engaged in fighting overseas to ensure our homeland security, here at home politicians were working on anti-terror laws that would aid in the “War on Terror” on the American soil. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, better known as the PATRIOT Act was signed into law by President George W.

Bush, with the purpose of providing a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The act was intended to reform the agenda regarding law enforcement agencies and their limitations. The authorities acknowledged that it was essential for law enforcement investigatory tools needed significant improvement and thus revised their activities. The Patriot Act is meant both to deter and to prevent terrorist acts in the US and across the world.

The most recent disaster policy has been accounted as the policy that is included in the structure that defines the categories of finding the effective study of the situations that lies in terms of the national or federal disaster policy. Such a policy in the United States of America has been developed first in the year 1947, about 150 years ago (Baumgartner& Jones, 2015). However, the policies and the statures of functioning have been passed through a number of amendments that are liable to beincluded in the production of effective functioning in order to reduce the hazards that might come as a part of the aftermath of any natural disaster that takes place within the country. However, the policy has been extended in various regions that effectively include the states that are covered under the legislation of the United States of America. A number of stances have been aggravated within the same in terms of production of the

Abstract Natural disasters lead to widespread suffering and destruction of property. This paper tries to examine how both the local and national government and other local emergency response organization responded to Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina forms one of the extraordinary acts of nature that caused human tragedy. The discussion is based on the movie “The Storm”. Several issues have been pointed out which might have contributed to the failure of various authorities to manage the disaster.

For most of the past century, the federal government’s role in Emergency Management has been expanding. With virtually every new presidential administration, the organizational forms and functions of emergency management have evolved (Rubin, 2012). Even today there is still resistance between agencies and the sharing of information which affects the American public during times of crisis, as well as have funding for those whom have suffered due to disasters.

On August 29, 2005 hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United and for two days it brought havoc to the American people until the storm was downgraded to a tropical depression as it reached Tennessee. However, surviving the hurricane’s intense rain and wind would not be hardest struggle they were forced to endure. Their survival would be tested longer then the hurricane’s wrath for the survivors will be forced to limited amounts of water and food and help will not arrive for days to come. Because of this lack of control in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina the public were left in anarchic as they waited for help that came too late. Unfortunately, as time went on people began to turn on another for the limited resources left. But the

The U.S. is no stranger when it comes to natural disasters and knowing what to do after one occurs. After Hurricane Katrina, the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments have learned and improved their disaster planning as well with nongovernmental organizations and private sectors to preposition a greater number of resources in responding and strengthen to disasters quickly and in a robust fashion (dhs 2014 p. 8). It has been seven years after Katrina, the return on these investments showed in the strong, coordinated response to Hurricane Sandy with this response the progress must continue. The response includes capabilities necessary to save lives, protect properties, and

The providing to unite and Strengthening America Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act ("Patriot Act"), went by the U.S. Congress in response to the terrorist assaults of September 2001, altogether adjusts a significant number of laws, including numerous identified with data arrangement.

The efforts of response and recovery have proven to be key in helping those affected by emergencies. This paper will examine some of the roles and responsibilities that are taken to first time responders and mangers. It is important for emergency management to make sure that the team around them are given the right tools and knowledge to help assist people in emergency situations. Next, the discussion of the role of the state government has in dealing with emergency management. When there are organizations that volunteer themselves in disaster response what roles do they possess? It is important to what the president’s role in declaring disaster response. What exactly is the process and system that is in play that he must go through? The National Response Framework and the National Incident Command System is very important in responding to emergencies so giving the overall meaning to what it is that they do will give a better understanding of their goal in response and recovery. Anytime you hear of a disaster or emergency you have to think about FEMA and their role along with the role that other government agencies have in disaster recovery. The National Disaster Recovery Framework has to be examined as well to address their part in helping in the recovery. Finally, the discussion of how the community can develop a long-term recovery plan will be addressed.

Hurricane Katrina exposed huge issues in the United States disaster preparedness and response programs. In 2005, the structure for homeland security was unable to manage catastrophic events like Hurricane Katrina. Unified management of national response
