Words whispered in water : why the levees broke in Hurricane Katrina / by Sandy Rosenthal. by Rosenthal, Sandy, author. Coral Gables, FL : Mango Publishing Group, [2020] Subjects Hurricane Katrina, 2005.   Levees -- Louisiana -- New Orleans.   Flood control -- Louisiana -- New Orleans.   Emergency management -- Louisiana -- New Orleans. ISBN:  9781642503272 (paperback) : 1642503274 (paperback) Description:  345 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 2005, the entire world watched as New Orleans was nearly wiped off the map. The levees ruptured and most of the city flooded. But while newscasters attributed the flood to a natural disaster and the low elevation of the city, citizen investigator Sandy Rosenthal set out to expose the true culprit and compel the media and government to tell the truth. This is the true story. When the protective steel flood-walls broke, the US Army Corps of Engineers--with cooperation from many media outlets--turned the blame on anyone and anything but themselves. In the chaotic aftermath, Rosenthal founded Levees.org to uncover the truth and disseminate it to anyone who would listen. Follow this New Orleans hero as she exposes the Army Corps's egregious design errors and eventually changes the narrative surrounding the New Orleans flood. This engaging and revealing tale proves again and again that one person truly can make a difference"--Page 4 of cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.34922 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
