Hurricane Katrina cleanup

From dKosopedia

The Hurricane Katrina cleanup is estimated to cost $100 billion, most of it in New Orleans. This makes it easily the largest domestic disaster in American history.

Who participates? Who decides? Who profits? Why'd it happen? See Hurricane Katrina issue. Some subissues relevant to the cleanup in particular:

• eminent domain and the rights of Hurricane Katrina refugees
• conflict of interest and cronyism regarding Joe Allbaugh
• whether Michael Brown should run FEMA when the next one strikes
• whether Halliburton should participate in the cleanup
• whether the oil industry, responsible for the majority of the pollution, should pay for its share
