Hurricane Katrina, which caused death and extensive damage when it crossed southern Florida on August 25, 2005, struck the Louisiana and Mississippi coast the morning of August 29. The result is what many are calling the worst natural disaster in the nation's history.

The effects of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, which made landfall along the Louisiana/Texas border September 24, will be felt for years to come.

This site will serve as a clearinghouse for Service-related hurricane information.
