Millions of lives torn apart, a city in ruins, and a government in denial. No doubt, Katrina is one of the most catastrophic and costly events ever to hit the U.S.
In this first part of a special series, hear the powerful stories from those who survived and find out how you can help with the relief efforts in your local communities and beyond.
We’ll also take a look at how the events unfolded after Katrina smashed into the shores of the southern U.S. coastline and we’ll talk to a water expert who explains what the people in the gulf coast might be up against in the coming months.
Featuring:
Dr. Joan Rose, professor, Michigan State University; relief volunteers Joanne Lyons, Leslie Toy and Regina Reynolds; Cecil Kirkpatrick, registered nurse and Red Cross volunteer; Curtis Washington, survivor of Hurricane Katrina; Cecile Eugene, born and raised in New Orleans.
This week’s hosts: Tena Rubio and Justin Beck
