A resolution recognizing the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Commemorating Hurricane Katrina's victims and recovery. This resolution would mark the storm's 20th anniversary and honor those who died and those who helped rebuild. It would recount Katrina's scale as a Category 3 hurricane on August 29, 2005, causing more than $200 billion in damage and about 1,822 deaths, flooding 80 percent of New Orleans after 53 levee breaches. The text would recognize massive evacuations, national and international aid including about $854 million in pledges, note roughly $15 billion invested in Louisiana levees, commend responders and charities, and reaffirm a commitment to protecting Gulf Coast communities.
