    "description": "Regions and Seasons: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita not only devastated the natural environment in Louisiana, they had a tremendous impact on the people of the region. 200,000 homes were destroyed and over 1,800 lives were lost in Hurricane Katrina alone. Low-lying coastal areas, such as those depicted in this 2008 map, must employ resiliency efforts to keep humans, structures and ecosystems safe. Resiliency strategies for New Orleans include restoring coastal wetlands, implementing flood risk reduction plans and storm water management systems, and providing monetary incentives to residents and business owners to retrofit their properties to be more resistant to storms.",
