When Hurricane Betsy struck in 1965, it exposed significant weaknesses in the levee system protecting New Orleans. In response, extensive repairs and upgrades were initiated to strengthen the levees. This included raising their heights and reinforcing their structures to better withstand future storms. The disaster ultimately led to a reevaluation of flood protection measures in the region.
things that people do after a hurricane
no we can not do anything to avoid a hurricane.
You should clean up the mess that the hurricane made. :)
the levees that protected the city broke its barriers ( new orleans is below sea level so they protected them from storm surges) this lead to very dangerous storm surges which caused serious flooding to the majority of the city
Yes. Hurricane Sandy dissipated in the first few days of November 2012.
The greatest amount of damage done occurred when the storm surge breached the levees surrounding New Orleans, flooding 80% of the low-lying city, parts of which are below sea level. The storm surge also caused catastrophic damage in Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi.
Buildings torn apart!
Some hurricanes have stayed at sea and done no damage.

The estimate of the property damage that was done by Hurricane Katrina is around eighty one billion. The Hurricane took a large toll on the land when it hit.
Nothing, because this is currently impossible.
