What steps can we take to help prevent another Hurricane Katrina from occurring?

The biggest thing would be to stop global warming. Global warming is one of the main causes of the huge hurricanes recently.

Global temperatures are no higher than they have been historically. They have increased an average of 1 degree (Fahrenheit, if I recall) over the past 100 years. 100 years ago, global temperatures were .7 degrees Fahrenheit below the Earth's historical average. Likewise, the amount of hurricanes occurring per year isn't much higher, if any higher at all, than what have been occurring historically.

	Finally, someone who knows what he's talking about. Man can not control nature. We can not control or change the temperature of this planet. But let a politician like Al Gore tell you we are all going to die and everyone buys it.

	I'm not getting this from Al Gore. I don't know him. I'm getting this from my sister, who's majoring in environmental science.

Such things will happen again and again. Global warming may have contributed to Katrina's power, but a large storm can occur without the added impetus of warming.

Want to be safe? There is no safety. A natural disaster can strike any of us at any time. To avoid being a victim of another Katrina, the only solution is to move far inland.

If you mean in New Orleans you could simply not build the city below sea level.If you mean preventing hurricanes and other natural disasters there isn't anything man can do to stop nature.You may as well try to stop the sun from rising.

	Yes... if you have a city under sea level and you're in a hurricane prone area... I can't really say that it was unexpected.

It is funny that is was seen as such a horrible disaster. There were many meteorologists who watched the event unfold and did their best to broadcast to the people in that area, in advance, that a large storm was approaching. If there were no meteorologist, then every single person that lived in New Orleans would have been sitting on their ass as that hurricane came in and there would have been a significantly higher death toll. Also, there were many people who jumped up to aid those who were trapped down there, even though it was their fault for not evacuating, and without those kind-hearted individuals, then the death toll would have run still higher. I do not think it was a tragedy, nor something that could have been prevented or aided any better than it already was.

If I remember correctly, there were less than two thousand deaths related to this natural disaster. On average about ten thousand people die every hour in daily circumstances.

	I know right? People are STILL saying that "the government" needs to rebuild my house in New Orleans. =/ Since when is it the government's responsibility to rebuild your house when you live below sea level?

	Many peoples lives and houses were ruined it was not all abot death tolls though they had a big part to play. Anyone that wasnin the disaster would be mortified at the previous comment

Well I don't think you can actually do anything that would be enough to prevent another Hurricane Katrina from happening. Its all up to nature.

Yeah you're right, if it's going to happen there isnt anything you can do to stop it, or even to prevent it. Like IamJesues said, its just nature. Like, where im from we had a huge cyclone a few years ago, nothing we could do about it, you cant change nature.

If you don't want to risk your house being destroyed by a hurricane then don't live in hurricane prone areas. If you do live there build accordingly.

The same goes for earthquake and tornado zones.

Stick frame housing and tin buildings in tornado and hurricane zones is inadequate.
Building houses below sea level on the coast line is also a faulty building decision.

Construction techniques need to be adjusted, beefed-up, to account for the extra dangers these areas contain.

	I know, if you put up a trailer park in Mississippi, you're just asking for it.

Curious, how many hurricanes have made land since?

Have you also noticed the large "research" microwave towers that have been installed after?

There's also been a strange buldge that seemed to have formed in the ionosphere that seems to have altered the jet stream.
In fact, one might go so far as to say it may be possible these storms have been deflected.

Of course this may just be all unfounded theory..

We do not want another hurricane to hit St. Lucia.

What time did the Hurricane stop at?
