Some local nonprofit organizations pressed into hurricane disaster assistance last year feel the challenge has improved their response capabilities a year after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast.
The thousands of evacuees who came to Ouachita Parish last August and September overwhelmed the ability of local agencies like the American Red Cross and United Way of Northeast Louisiana. In the year that has followed, leaders of the organizations believe the hurricanes forced needed reassessments of how to handle a large-scale disaster."
