Gulf Coast To Face The Heat Of Another Hurricane
26/Aug/2006: A year after Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the U.S. Gulf Coast, Louisiana and Mississippi residents wait uneasily to see what the peak of the 2006 hurricane season might send their way.
If a hurricane does head for the region this year, Katrina's survivors will face "some unique challenges.
One of the biggest challenges would be the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people who have been living in trailers since their homes were destroyed last August and September.
About 81,700 temporary trailers currently provide shelter for as many as 200,000 people, according to the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness in Louisiana.
Katrina also heavily damaged or destroyed natural and human-made barriers that are meant to protect the Gulf Coast from winds and waves.
