Flood insurance is separate from homeowner's insurance Homeowners assume purchasing homeowner's insurance covers the home from ALL natural disasters, including floods. It isn't so. Flood insurance is a separate policy. It is the homeowner's responsibility to research and ask insurance agents about these separate policies. Flood insurance coverage isn't hard to find in the policy. Read your policy. If flood coverage is not there, revise the policy with the home insurance provider to include…

The connections of the fascia boards to the pile caps were severely overstressed during the hurricane. Most of these connections in the entire pavilion area experienced failure of the wood, usually resulting in splitting of the wood (see Figure 8). Further inspection revealed that shimming was used heavily during the construction of the pier to maintain a flat deck surface. This raised the fascia boards up and greatly decreased strength of the connection to resist uplift. These geometric…

Hurricanes are not uncommon among the coastal regions. Atmospheric and sea-surface conditions were conducted to cyclone’s rapid transformation and resulted in what is known as Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina was tearing apart the Gulf of Mexico. It was a Category 5 hurricane and was predicted to create several landfalls within the affected area. The wind was moving in a pattern causing a storm surge toward the city like a high tide. Due to poor construction, the floodwall broke the flood…

As time progresses, techonology has advanced. The LIDAR is the most impactful, developed and advanced technology that can help seek evidence for researchers and explorers today, which in turn can further our understanding of the archeology of the world. Archeologists have been able to find out more about the topography than they have in years. The LIDAR has made it easy upon scientists and has changed the view of the world. On the other hand, another developed and advanced type of…

Both of these natural disasters were big problems and caused a lot of damage in a day. However one of these storms caused more damage for a longer period of time. That storm was Hurricane Mitch because it took people 20 years to fix all the roads, houses and other building with their furniture. However the big flood did soak every building and furniture it could be dried from heat or put it in the sun. The people who suffered from the flood could keep their furniture and get it dried however the…

also have many differences. Although they both share similar makings and features, they are different structures altogether. Both hurricanes and tornadoes occur in various locations, and at separate times of the year. A hurricane is classified as a cyclone, which is a rapidly circling storm system with a low-pressure center called an eye. The eye is warmer than the eyewall, which is the…

The New Orleans is a Louisiana city beside the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. The Nickname for New Orleans is Big Easy. New Orleans is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723.

In 2005 New Orleans was catastrophically hit by the Hurricane Katrina like other places of USA. In this sad event more than 1,500…

It was the failure of the levees on the Industrial channel that caused devastating flooding to the surrounding Ninth Ward neighbourhood leading to many social implications within the community. The levee failure caused a torrent of water to pour into the neighbourhood with buoyancy forces that caused 125 structures to float onto the roads (Green et al. 2007), with more structures requiring demolition due to damage. It was the Ninth Ward district that also experienced the greatest loss of life…
