2012 update: Hurricane Isaac made landfall in the Gulf Coast region exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. We will post news about philanthropic relief and recovery efforts as it becomes available. Visit the Center for Disaster Philanthropy to discover philanthropic opportunities.
Among the 26 named storms tracked in 2005, two hurricanes—Katrina and Rita—will be remembered for the unprecedented devastation they inflicted on the Gulf Coast region. Through the destruction and flooding left in their wake, these storms caused damage that will take many years to repair. We bring you fast facts, visual snapshots, and news and research related to relief efforts. Using our interactive maps and charts, you can explore more than 4,400 of the grants awarded, totaling over $890 million. These tools illustrate the geographic areas and types of services and organizations that have received support. Here you'll also find links to relevant news items from our Philanthropy News Digest as well as foundation-sponsored reports on hurricane relief. | ||
