This time last year, millions of people were uprooted, injured, and some were even killed when Hurricane Katrina struck. Expediters responded, including a number of EO members.
Today, journalists are doing their Katrina follow-up stories. Authors are releasing their books. An interesting and infomative document is "A Failure of Initiative: The Final Report of the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina," issued by the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and
Response to Hurricane Katrina.

For those who wish to play the political blame game, there is now enough factual information out there to keep the spin doctors busy and partisian fingers pointing for years to come. For expediters who may be again called to help with disaster relief efforts, the post-Katrina information can be used in more productive ways.
With the Katrina experience behind us (and still going on for many thousands of people), what are your thoughts about the next disaster relief work you may be involved in as an expediter?
