Hurricane Katrina Damage Assessment brings together the results of a comprehensive evaluation led by ASCE's Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute (COPRI). This committee report assesses the geographical impact of the hurricane upon coastal, port, harbor, and marine infrastructure, including levees. Notably, COPRI's report offers ""lessons learned"" for the protection of existing natural coastal barriers, re-establishment of lost natural coastal barriers, and design of future coastal infrastructure to withstand storm events of Katrina's magnitude. An enlightening read, ""Hurricane Katrina Damage Assessment"" will be of interest to coastal engineers and anyone involved in natural disaster management and prevention.
