5698 were injured. At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest US hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane.

It should be noted that officially, 1464 of these deaths took place within New Orleans.

Deaths by state:

  • Alabama: 2
  • Florida: 14
  • Georgia: 2
  • Kentucky: 1
  • Louisiana: 1,577*
  • Mississippi: 238
  • Ohio: 2

    TOTAL: 1,836

MISSING: 706

(*INCLUDES OUT OF STATE EVACUEES COUNTED BY LOUISIANA.) Some people decided not to leave their homes as they did not want to leave valuables and belongings behind due to other people. Some people could not evacuate their homes due to the floods so they hid in their attics or on their rooftops.
