17 15 March 2006
18 Greater New Orleans Hurricane Protection System Status 6 March 2006 Response to date 100 miles of levee/floodwalls restored to design levels 85% of pumping capacity restored 59 contracts issued; utilizing 91% local contractors. Total value of work-$770 million 1 June and Beyond 1 June: All Damaged Levees/Floodwalls Restored to Authorized Design Levels Temporary closure structures on 3 drainage canals installed to protect from storm surge Sep 2007: Entire Hurricane Protection System Restored to Authorized Design Levels Damaged and undamaged levees/floodwalls restored All 5 authorized New Orleans and South East Louisiana hurricane protection projects 100% complete Dec 2007 Hurricane Protection Study complete : $1.46 B Requested Improvements to Protection System (pending supplemental) complete
19 Evolution of New Orleans Hurricane Protection System GAO Report to Congress 28/09/05 Congress authorized in 1965; $85M; estimated completion 1979 Designed for NWS-SPH, ~ Cat 2+ today, return period of about yrs. Basically two alternatives: 1. Two rings of protection: inner ring of 9-13 levees; + outer storm surge barrier with flood gates 2. Inner ring of high levees, Lawsuits (1977) over two-ring plan; Plan 1 abandoned By 1982, the costs rose to~$800m; est completion By 2005, 60-90% of 125 mi levees complete From , Congressional appropriations declined from $15-20M/yr to $5-7M/yr 2002 Corps requested funds for a study to strengthen HPS
20 Why Did The Hurricane Protection System Not Perform As Designed? Event exceeded designed standards Congress authorized protection against category 2+ in 1965 System Incomplete Construction of levees/floodwalls financed over 40 yr. period. Not all were completed by 2005 Structural Failures in Levees/Flood Walls Levee subsidence Levees were below design grade Loss of Coastal Wetlands

36 General Lessons Learned Disasters and relief are now globalized phenomena and we need to rethink how we cooperate in prevention as well as reaction Must plan for prevention, preparedness, response and restoration and not just reacting to events. Must manage as a system (IRWM) Non structural behavioral measures alone are not enough for prevention and reaction Structures are critical but also can be dangerous Ecosystem vitality must be integrated into the solutions How to determine what level of risk is acceptable to what population and who will pay We must view the integration of relief, response and prevention as a holistic risk management - in which the citizens actively participate in choosing levels of acceptable risk We all need to learn how to better communicate risk to populations we serve
