GIS Applications During Response To Hurricane Katrina: Small, Local Government And State Government Experiences By Kelly A. Boyd and Jacqueline W. Mills, Ph.D

Though much of the media focus on Hurricane Katrina tends to center on New Orleans, the city was part of a larger region devastated by the storm.

GIS was an integral part of the response phase throughout the Gulf Coast and the lessons from those involved in this effort should be shared. Used with permission from Directions Media
