New Orleans Hurricane Shelters

New Orleans is a changed city after the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in the 2005 Hurricane season. As we all watched with horror as the flooding destroyed the city and killed indiscriminately the city became an example of the power of nature's fury. As we approach the 2006 hurricane season many survivors of Hurricane Katrina are still in temporary shelters and haven't returned to their homes yet. As the world braces for the next hurricane New Orleans has introduced a new strategy for protecting its citizens.

Travel Trailers During the 2006 hurricane season New Orleans residents are going to be asked to evacuate not to their nearest hurricane shelter but to shelters outside of the city. The idea is to avoid keeping people inside the city of New Orleans which is predominantly either at sea level or a few feet above it. The city has set into action a plan to evacuate its residents to higher sea levels further inland and is setting up transportation for the elderly and disabled residents. For the residents of the temporary shelters this does mean being evacuated from the temporary shelters to a local hurricane shelter at the sign of even something as small as a tropical storm. If the tropical storm upgrades to hurricane status the residents of the temporary shelters would be moved out of the city of New Orleans with everyone else.

Travel Agency The Superdome Stadium has always been known as New Orleans shelter of last resort. This was true for Hurricane Katrina as well and the Superdome suffered heavy damage. For the 2006 hurricane season the mayor of New Orleans is making it clear that there is no shelter of last resort. The mayor is pushing strongly to evacuate residents out of the city altogether to avoid the dangers of a storm surge like the one that Katrina caused. Storm surge is the main reason for the deadliness and danger of hurricanes.
