Hurricane Katrina was a disastrous event for the US city of New Orleans in 2005. The city experienced massive flooding as the hurricane made landfall, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes and seek refuge elsewhere. The flooding also caused immense damage to infrastructure and left many without basic provisions including food and water. The government was heavily criticized for its slow response to the disaster, resulting in an ineffective rescue and relief operation. To make matters worse, the city's already poor and largely African American population was hit disproportionately hard. The catastrophic flooding of New Orleans during hurricane Katrina is still vividly remembered today.
