New Orleans Colleges 5 Years After Katrina
This is an excellent resource for emergency, disaster, mitigation and other planners when they need to project beyond physical campus damage from major catastrophes. Institutions in the New Orleans area are still recovering five years after Katrina. This Chronicle of Higher Education article by Katherine Mangan includes a clickable map showing the location of 8 of the affected campuses, along with enrollment, damage, and recovery statistics. Apparently, on most campuses you can no longer see so much physical damage, but recovery in a financial sense, in a student enrollment sense, and in regaining faculty and staff expertise is slower.
