What is the problem? Hurricane Katrina happened over a year ago; aren’t they all cleaned up by now?
It is far from cleaned up. While the news media has, for the most part, moved onto other more sensational stories, the residents are left with the aftermath of the cleanup and rebuilding. And with the entire infrastructure all but destroyed the logistics of cleaning up and rebuilding are daunting. Many residents are caught between waiting for an insurance settlement and a FEMA check. Also most residents have to keep working at their jobs. So rebuilding their homes takes place on the weekend – can you imagine it? In short it is going to take years to rebuild what was lost.
