This document summarizes media coverage of Hurricane Katrina from when the storm first made landfall through the aftermath. It analyzes several news reports from sources like National Public Radio, CNN, NBC Nightly News, USA Today, and The New York Times. Some coverage was praised for providing urgent, relevant information and placing the crisis in context. However, other reports were criticized for being sensationalized, focusing on violence and looting rather than relief efforts, or failing to hold government accountable for its response. The document also discusses some pre-storm reporting that informed about New Orleans' vulnerability and outlined FEMA's role in disaster response.
The document analyzes media coverage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It discusses how early coverage by NBC and CNN spent little time on the damage in New Orleans, instead saying the city "dodged bullets" or damage. The New York Times had warned in 2003 and 2002 articles of New Orleans' vulnerability to a hurricane. The document contrasts effective long-term coverage by outlets like NPR and the New York Times, who actively gathered information and validated sources, to ineffective coverage by NBC that relied on voiceovers without new information.

FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was widely criticized as an "epic failure". The document outlines FEMA's slow response, with the agency not arriving to provide aid until 3 days after the hurricane hit. This delayed response led to widespread devastation, with over 900 deaths and massive property damage. The document argues that FEMA and the President could have acted sooner by deploying the military ahead of the storm to help with evacuations and rescue efforts. A faster response may have minimized loss of life and damage from the hurricane.
The document analyzes media coverage of Hurricanes Katrina and Dennis. It finds that early coverage of Katrina by NBC and CBS downplayed the damage, while CNN's initial coverage effectively conveyed the devastation and challenges. However, CNN later characterized the situation as "urban warfare" and inaccurately portrayed victims as violent. In contrast, an interview on Chicago Public Radio provided a firsthand account that contested these reports, instead depicting people protecting each other and looting only for necessary supplies. The conclusion criticizes how media coverage often upheld myths of lawlessness during disasters despite also engaging in relief efforts.
Hurricane Katrina caused over $108 billion in damage when it hit Louisiana, Florida, and Mississippi as a Category 5 hurricane in 2005. It destroyed over 200,000 homes and displaced 800,000 people. New Orleans was especially hard hit due to being below sea level, with levees and floodwalls failing in over 50 locations. The impacts and response were greatly influenced by the high poverty levels and segregation that left many vulnerable black communities exposed. International aid was provided to assist with recovery.

The document discusses the Washington Post's coverage of various crises and conflicts. It analyzes the Post's strengths and weaknesses in its coverage of Japan's earthquake/tsunami, the nuclear crisis in Japan, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, conflicts in Kosovo and Libya, and domestic issues like the US budget crisis. The document provides examples of both effective and ineffective coverage, and examines whether the Post lives up to its legacy of investigative journalism established during the Watergate scandal. It considers whether the Post holds officials accountable, provides factual understanding, focuses too much on the Washington DC area, and strikes the right balance between opinion and objective reporting.
The Washington Post continues its legacy of investigative journalism through comprehensive political coverage, especially online. It caters to its readership in Washington D.C. and provides in-depth information on government officials and policy issues. While the Post's international coverage has room for improvement, its strengths lie in proactive, national coverage of political processes and holding officials accountable. The Post learns from past reporting mistakes and works to maintain its standard of investigative journalism.

It discusses the social, economic, and emotional impacts, including over 1,800 deaths, over 200,000 homes damaged, loss of jobs and property, and feelings of abandonment, trauma and distrust in the government's response, particularly in the predominantly African American areas hardest hit.
Olaudah Equiano was an African man who was enslaved and transported to America in the 18th century. He wrote an autobiography titled "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano" published in 1745. In the narrative, he describes the miserable conditions slaves endured, including being separated from his countrymen and watching others commit suicide by jumping overboard to escape their suffering. He recounts gaining his freedom when his master kept his promise to manumit him. The overarching themes in Equiano's narrative are slavery and the dehumanization of slaves, the pursuit of basic human rights and dignity, and the lack of education that prevented slaves and whites from recognizing the
This document summarizes information from Philip D. Hearn's book about Hurricane Camille. It provides background on the author and book. It then describes Hurricane Camille making landfall in Mississippi in 1969 as a Category 5 storm, causing widespread destruction along the coast. Over 170 people were killed by the powerful winds and storm surge. The document discusses the confusion around predicting Camille's path and the efforts to evacuate residents.

Loop diagrams are schematic representations of instrumentation and control circuits used in process control systems. They show all electrical, pneumatic and physical connections for a loop including signal, power and utility connections. Key elements shown are field devices, control panels, junction boxes and terminal identification. Instrument action (direct or reverse) and energy supplies such as air, power and hydraulic are also identified. Guidelines specify that one loop should be depicted per drawing and that standard symbols are used to represent components and connections.
This document provides information about cascade control systems. It begins with equations for calculating vessel level using differential pressure. It then describes a basic level control loop. It explains a cascade level/flow control loop, where the level controller output sets the setpoint for a flow controller in a secondary loop. A block diagram shows the basic configuration of a cascade control system with a master controller for the primary variable (level) and a slave controller for the secondary variable (flow). It includes a diagram of an example system with tanks, pumps, and a chiller using cascade control to maintain both tank level and chiller flow.

It provides examples of ineffective early reporting that downplayed Katrina's threat and failed to objectively convey the unfolding crisis. It also offers examples of effective later reporting that accurately portrayed the hurricane's impacts, provided context on emergency response challenges, and allowed experts to discuss lessons learned and ways to improve future disaster response.

CASE 3.1 THE KATRINA BREAKDOWN
Catastrophe struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, when the eye of Hurricane Katrina made landfall near Buras, Louisiana, packing high storm surges and sustained winds of over 140 mph. The Category 4 hurricane would move slowly inland, carving a path of destruction across low-lying regions of southern Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. See map.
Experts had long warned of the flood danger faced by New Orleans, much of which lies below sea level in a bowl bordered by levees that hold back Lake Pontchartrain to the north and the Mississippi River to the south and west. In fact, in the summer of 2004, hundreds of regional and federal officials had met in Baton Rouge for an elaborate simulation exercise. The fictional “Hurricane Pam” left the city under 10 feet of water. The report from the simulation warned that transportation would be a major problem.
The simulation proved disconcertingly accurate. Katrina caused breaches in the levees, leaving about 80 percent of New Orleans under water and knocking out electrical, water, sewage, transportation, and communication systems. Katrina also flattened much of Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi, flooded Mobile, Alabama, and leveled or inundated small cities and towns across an area the size of Great Britain. Up to 100,000 people were stranded in New Orleans for days in squalid and dangerous conditions awaiting relief and evacuation.
Katrina was the deadliest hurricane to hit the United States in more than 75 years. The confirmed death toll exceeded 1200, with more than 80 percent of the fatalities in Louisiana, predominantly in the New Orleans area. It was among the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history. Nearly three-fourths of all the homes in New Orleans, the fifty-ninth largest city in the United States, were damaged or destroyed.
Poor coordination between local, state, and federal officials raises important questions not only about U.S. disaster preparedness but also about federalism. The following five government officials, in particular, were criticized for their response to the distaster: New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Director Michael Brown, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and President George W. Bush. Before considering those criticisms, we need to review the facts of the case.

Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005. Local and national news coverage was initially ineffective due to a lack of on-the-ground reporting and a failure to communicate the severity of the situation. However, some local media like NOLA.com and Times-Picayune provided constant updates that helped guide relief efforts. In the aftermath, coverage increasingly focused on rebuilding efforts, though attention faded within a few years.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
3. Before: Effective Coverage Both of these pictures show I-10 West, a major evacuation route. On the left, was damage from Georges in 1998. The article “Washing Away” touched on how catastrophic it would be if flooded again. “Washing Away” June 23, 2005 New Orleans Times-Picayune “ The Army Corps of Engineers says the chance of New Orleans-area levees being topped is remote, but admits the estimate is based on 40-year-old calculations. An independent analysis based on updated data and computer modeling done for The Times-Picayune suggests the risk to some areas, including St. Bernard and St. Charles parishes and eastern New Orleans, may be greater than the corps estimates.”

The second video is from CNN’s report, broadcasted at 9:00pm on August 29, 2005. http://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu.proxy.lib.umich.edu/program.pl?ID=801690 No mention of the broken levees or rising flood levels. (Start at 6:40-Stop at 8:58), later in the clip there is an interview with FEMA director Michael Brown saying how prepared they were for the inclement weather and saying they did a “great job” (12:00-13:10) http://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu.proxy.lib.umich.edu/program.pl?ID=801402 CNN has no mention of broken levees, and even on the “bottom line” flooding is not attributed to the broken levees, but to pump failures.
