Hurricane Katrina and LLIS.gov

In response to the recent Hurricane Katrina disaster, LLIS.gov has created a Hurricane Katrina page for members to access relevant disaster recovery lessons learned, best practices, after-action reports, and other hurricane-related documents. LLIS.gov users can submit comments, experiences, and observations from Katrina that will assist in the development of new lessons learned. In addition, users can post questions, comments, and insights to a Katrina-specific message board.

Information on all phases of the disaster, including response and recovery operations, and all emergency response functions, such as search and rescue, communications, and law enforcement operations, is encouraged. Whether it is the receiving of displaced residents or the sending of personnel and resources to the Gulf Coast, jurisdictions across the nation have been affected by Hurricane Katrina, and LLIS.gov would appreciate feedback on the disaster. LLIS.gov is also seeking similar information about hurricane Rita.

Membership to LLIS.gov is required and open only to vetted emergency response providers and homeland security officials. For more information and to register, visit the web site: www.llis.gov/.
