How was hurricane karina a natural disaster?

Answer 1

The hurricane itself was a natural disaster. It is impossible to attribute a single storm to climate change, although there are studies that indicate that it may have been stronger and better organized than it otherwise would have (if the Gulf weren't as warm). Regardless, New Orleans is situated in an area at high risk of hurricanes no matter how the climate changes. However, the disaster that Katrina caused was indisputably influenced by humans, i.e., the way New Orleans is built (it is now below sea level with a lake on one side) and the way the levees were constructed. The way the disaster played out magnified certain inequities in society that are purely human policy-generated and have nothing to do with the environment. So depending on exactly what you're referring to, Katrina was almost entirely a natural disaster, or it was very much human-induced, in terms of what unfolded after the hurricane had already done its damage.

Answer 2

The hurricane itself WA natural, nothing could have prevented it. Flood defenses were deficient, which made the damage worse than it might have been. The authiorities responded slowly (?) which added to human suffering.

Answer 3

Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster because it was a powerful and destructive tropical cyclone that originated in the Atlantic Ocean and made landfall in the United States, causing widespread flooding, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of life. The hurricane's intensity and path were natural phenomena influenced by weather patterns and ocean conditions.
