The book “Zeitoun” written by Dave Eggers focuses on Zeitoun and Kathy a muslim couples point of view on Hurricane Katrina and how muslims were treated in the 21st Century. He expresses his feelings about how muslims were treated in the 21st century by appealing to ethos, pathos, and logos. Dave Eggers interviewed Kathy and Zeitoun and did research for years before he officially published the book “Zeitoun” which appeals to ethos because he is giving credit to himself by citing his resources and research. In the book “Zeitoun” Eggers persuades us that Abdulrahman Zeitoun was a hero during the hurricane katrina by giving credibility to what Zeitoun had done to help his community.

To what extent do you agree with President Bush´s description of Hurricane Katrina as a natural disaster? In August 2005, over 1,700 people lost their lives as a result of Category 5 hurricane Katrina. The hurricane affected over 90,000 square miles in many of the Gulf Coast states, under which Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. (Hurricane Katrina).

Finally on this note, the Federal Response Plan (FRP) has been revised into the National Response Plan (NRP). Many of the positive features of the FRP have been retained in the NRP but the focus has been shifted dramatically to responding to a terrorist attack and in doing so, the role of the Federal government has been altered dramatically. The NRP places the lead role in responding to major disasters, terrorist attack or natural disaster, in the hands of Federal officials. In fact, the Federal government now has the authority to respond to an event in a State without a request by the Governor. This alters the traditional role of the Federal government, through the FRP, supporting the actions of State and local government.

The glass castle was written in 2005. During that year, New Orleans and other areas in the gulf coast were struck by Hurricane Katrina; one of the biggest and most catastrophic hurricanes that impacted America. Many lives were lost and several were considered missing. As a result, the hurricane left numerous survivors stranded without any food, water, and shelter to resort to. Meanwhile other regions in west and south-south eastern nations were hit by massive earthquakes that left a high mass number of injured victims and numerous casualties.

Response Comparison: Hurricane Katrina VS. San Bernardino Terrorist Attack Armstrong, Troy Union Institute & University Critical Incident Management-Response Course Spring 2022-2023 Term Instructor Ron Santo Abstract In comparison, there were many differences between the 2005 Hurricane Katrina response and the December 2015 response to the San Bernardino Terrorist Attacks.

Federalism was ultimately to blame for the slow government response to Katrina. Federalism refers to the division of political authority between a central government and state or provincial governments; a method of government that allows two or more entities to share control over the same geographic region. While Federalism ensures that state governments function independently, it also prevents the creation of a national policy and leads to a lack of accountability, which proved to be the case with Katrina, the most destructive storm in United States history. Governments have a lot of power to affect people’s lives.

The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 has taught many emergency managers to strive to correct deficiencies from focusing events from the past by valuing and protecting the people from communities from anticipated

New Orleans, a flourishing city sitting on the Gulf coast. The city thrived with life. But, on the morning of August 29th,2005 everything changed. Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the gulf coast.

The reaction to Hurricane Katrina to me is shockingly similar to events that have happened both in the past and today in New Orleans. In the weeks after Katrina, the people of New Orleans were devastated by the death of family members, and the loss of their businesses, but eventually they began to rebuild the city just like they did after Hurricane Betsy. Since the construction of the levees

The genuine expense of Hurricane Katrina's harm was between $96-$125 billion, with $40-$66 billion in guaranteed misfortunes. Half of these misfortunes were a consequence of flooding in New Orleans. An expected 300,000 homes were pulverized or generally made appalling. No less than 118 million cubic yards of absolute waste and destruction abandoned, creating a devastating clean up

Uncertainty is what is left because it’s a long process of rebuilding, not only that but to see what used to be home now is gone and have to start from zero. After, the impact there is many rescues done as well as evacuations, the flooding caused massive destructions (“Federal report shows punch of last year 's Hurricane Harvey”, 2018). Another Hurricane that impacted U.S. was Hurricane Katrina which hit August 23, 2005 – August 31, 2005. The destruction was largely

Furthermore, Fema focused more of their financial resources toward massive incarceration during hurricane Katrina. Fema priorities on how the handle funding resource during the after math of Karina, they focused more on crimes rather than helping victims. Fema overseen and run by homeland security directed there attention towards crimes and terrorist, instead of quickly making funds accessible to resident with no place live. Fema paid for this prison system to operate and covered inmates cost of living during the time spent in prison. Fema sent law officials to arrest New Orleans residents.

Ultimately, the entire government failed the people affected by Hurricane Katrina and are still handling the terrible situation to this day. Had the captivation and focus not been so hard on terrorism, I believe that
