Hurricane Pam was not an actual hurricane, but a computer model of a hypothetical hurricane striking the New Orleans area. New Orleans has long been an area of concern in regard to hurricanes. Portions of the city are below sea level, kept try only by levees and a system of pumps. Many realized that a major hurricane to breach the levees, causing catastrophic flooding. The Hurricane Pam model was meant to simulate what would happen in that event. This scenario came to pass when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005.
