Bill > SRes357

This resolution commemorates the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a catastrophic Category 3 hurricane that struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, causing unprecedented damage and loss of life. The resolution highlights the storm's devastating impact, including over $200 billion in damages, 1,822 fatalities across multiple states, and the flooding of 80% of New Orleans due to 53 levee breaches. It recognizes the massive evacuation of 1.2 million people, the destruction of infrastructure, and the critical role of charitable organizations and international aid in the aftermath. The resolution also acknowledges the significant improvements made since the hurricane, such as over $15 billion invested in Louisiana's levee system, enhanced evacuation routes, and improved coastal resilience. Ultimately, the Senate resolves to commemorate the victims, commend recovery efforts, recognize the support of communities, and reaffirm its commitment to protecting the Gulf Coast region from future storms, while celebrating the resilience of the people of Louisiana and New Orleans.
