Question

I remember the day before Hurricane Katrina arrived in New Orleans in August 2005. We received an evacuation order from the authorities. 80 per cent of the population left New Orleans. Some people took refuge in the Superdome, a stadium located on high ground, while others waited at home. I didn't have a car, so I went to the Superdome. The following day the storm arrived and the levees broke. About 80 per cent of the city was submerged under dirty water. Hurricane Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people and thousands of people lost their homes. It happened nine years ago but some areas of the city are still full of abandoned houses. Will New Orleans ever recover from the disaster? There will certainly be more hurricanes. Will my city still be so vulnerable in the future? Claire from New Orleans, USA) cary Sn king

Claire is from New Orleans, and remembers the day before Hurricane Katrina hit, with 80% of the city evacuated, some people going to the Superdome and others staying at home. The next day, the storm arrived and the levees broke. The city was submerged under water, and the hurricane killed nearly 2,000 people. Nine years later, some areas of the city are still abandoned. Claire wonders if the city will ever recover, and if it will be prepared for future hurricanes.
