What was the inspiring or positive outcome you noticed Post Katrina? [View all]

For me it was people waking up to the erosion of the wetlands between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. For example, the Corps of Engineers closed the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet and built an earthen dam across in alignment with the natural ridge paralleling Bayou La Loutre. The Bayou La Loutre ridge siting was selected to complement future wetland restoration efforts, as the natural ridge could regain its historic function of sheltering the marsh and swamp behind from the Gulf of Mexico.

I was also impressed how individuals defied or went around obstructionist federal officials to help folks.

Note: Not saying Katrina was a good thing (It should be evident but I know how posts can be misinterpreted).
