Figure 3: Request for Aid: Individual & Public Assistance Disaster Declarations by Parish (FEMA, 2005).
By mid-September, federal disaster declarations covered 31 parishes, consisting
of approximately 26,000 square miles of the State. Katrina left an estimated
five million people without power, which took more than two months to stabilize.
By November, many parts of New Orleans remained without power.
Storm damage caused by Katrina was significant. However, it was the
devastating storm surge and subsequent flooding that has made Katrina the
most costly storm in U.S. history.

Rainfall amounts for Hurricane Katrina, though considerable
in many places, were not the primary impact of the storm.
This map illustrates the preliminary rainfall totals (in inches)
for the period attributed to Katrina (August 28-30, 2005),
for locations with at least two-inches of rain (NOAA, 2005).
Please note: totals are incomplete due to storm damage
experienced at many stations along the immediate Gulf
coast.
