  1. Hurricane KatrinaBy: Chris Reid Group 2

  2. There have been discussions on why media portrayals of disasters and their victims so often deviate from what is actually known about behavior during emergencies.

  3. The levee break allowed water from Lake Pontchartrain to flood the city of New Orleans.

  4. MSNBC reports that Looters take advantage of New Orleans mess. “It’s insane,” says tourist watching theft in the French Quarter.

  5. Other Hurricane Katrina victims Looted in order to Survive.

  6. Anecdotal reports, not yet verified, also suggest that images of looting and lawlessness may have caused individuals and organizations from outside the affected area hit by the storm to hesitate before mobilizing to disaster sites in the Immediate aftermath of Katrina (Laris 2005).
