Abstract

Natural disasters are random and uncontrollable events that create havoc for human beings. A natural disaster might be caused by an earthquake, a flood, or, in the example in this paper, by a hurricane. When a disaster takes place, danger and damage occurs both during and often after the event itself. These are multiple effects created by the single cause of the disaster. hurricane katrina is a good example of a natural disaster causing many effects.

The case of this hurricane is interesting in a sad way simply because of the very large scale of disastrous effects both during and after the storm. Hurricanes are not uncommon on the Gulf Coast, where the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico flow north and east, and mix with the cold waters of the Atlantic. This helps create huge storm systems at certain times of the year, including hurricanes that travel landward and threaten the southeastern and southern coasts of this country.
