Abstract
This report examines changes made to emergency preparedness and disaster response and management since Hurricane Katrina. Also examined is the degree to which strategies employed by New Orleans' organizations and individuals can be transferred to other American cities. The list of improvements made to emergency preparedness in post-Katrina New Orleans has been narrowed down to 13 components, which are identified as best practices in emergency preparedness and disaster response.
