Lessons Indentified?Impact of Katrina • Despite the long history of hurricanes in the Gulf States, Hurricane Katrina and the other storms of 2005 were an anomaly - far more severe than anything that had occurred before in terms of both severity and breadth. The recent history of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast were on a much smaller scale, and after a few days of inconvenience, individuals, including people with disabilities, resumed their daily lives. • White, G. W., Fox, M. H., Rooney, C., & Cahill, A. (2007). Assessing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on persons with disabilities. Lawrence, KS: The University of Kansas, The Research and Training Center on Independent Living.
Impact of Katrina • The force of Katrina pushed human and material resources to extreme limits. It had a severe disruptive impact on entire communities, including people with and without disabilities as well as political, social, and legal systems. • White, G. W., Fox, M. H., Rooney, C., & Cahill, A. (2007). Assessing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on persons with disabilities. Lawrence, KS: The University of Kansas, The Research and Training Center on Independent Living.
Impact of Katrina • “About 6:15, I went and got the paper… I later heard gurgling water… I made it to the wheelchair… Then, I went down under the water three times. I called 911 on the cell phone and the operator told me to get up as high as I could get. But I told her, I said ‘Miss, I can’t get me any higher’….” • White, G. W., Fox, M. H., Rooney, C., & Cahill, A. (2007). Assessing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on persons with disabilities. Lawrence, KS: The University of Kansas, The Research and Training Center on Independent Living.
Some Statistics • 971 Katrina-related deaths in Louisianaand 15 deaths among Katrina evacuees in other states. Drowning(40%), injury and trauma (25%), and heart conditions (11%) werethe major causes of death among Louisiana victims. Forty-ninepercent of victims were people 75 years old and older. • Hurricane Katrina Deaths, Louisiana, 2005Joan Brunkard, PhD, Gonza Namulanda, MS and Raoult Ratard, MD, MPH
Some Statistics • Conclusions: Hurricane Katrina was the deadliest hurricaneto strike the US Gulf Coast since 1928. • Drowning was the majorcause of death and people 75 years old and older were the mostaffected population cohort. Future disaster preparedness effortsmust focus on evacuating and caring for vulnerable populations,including those in hospitals, long-term care facilities, andpersonal residences. • Hurricane Katrina Deaths, Louisiana, 2005Joan Brunkard, PhD, GonzaNamulanda, MS and RaoultRatard, MD, MPH
Some Statistics • Conclusion (cont.) • Improving mortality reporting timelinesswill enable response teams to provide appropriate interventionsto these populations and to prepare and implement preventivemeasures before the next disaster. • Hurricane Katrina Deaths, Louisiana, 2005Joan Brunkard, PhD, GonzaNamulanda, MS and RaoultRatard, MD, MPH
NIDRR Report There were significant gaps in three broad areas: • pre-disaster planning by CILs, individuals with disabilities, and local emergency management agencies; • pre- and post-disaster communication and information sharing within CILs, between White, G.
