A. Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Louisiana on August 29th, 2005. By August 31st, 80% of New Orleans was flooded, and many sections were under 4.5 meters of water. Luckily, 90% of the residents of Louisiana were evacuated before the hurricane hit. However, in the end 1,464 people died. As you know, the most dangerous aspect of a hurricane is not the precipitation that it drops, but the dangerous winds which accompany it. The reason why Hurricane Katrina was so devastating for New Orleans is because the strong winds caused the levees to break, thus flooding the city. In the days following the hurricane, there was some looting in the city, but the military was called in and they halted illegal action very quickly. The state government was heavily criticized after the tragedy for failing to help its citizens. On April 9, 2010, Amnesty International accused the United States government of violating the human rights of hurricane victims by treating them improperly and not giving enough assistance to poor minority communities. What do you think the government is responsible for in such situations?
B. Disaster struck in the town of Redbrooke late last night when the recently built Palmer Court apartment block caught fire and was completely destroyed.
It was just after 2.00 am when many of the residents in the building were woken by the smell of smoke. The Fire Brigade was alerted and arrived promptly to evacuate the building and extinguish the fire.
The fire spread rapidly through the building and the rescue operation had to be carried out quickly in order to save the forty-three residents inside. Twenty-nine people were taken to Redbrooke General Hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation and minor burns, but it is expected that they will be discharged later today. The remaining fourteen people were evacuated safely with no injuries. The Fire Brigade battled with the fire until 7 o'clock this morning but were unable to save the building. The residents will be provided with temporary accommodation.
An investigation is being carried out to determine the cause of the fire. At present it is suspected that it was caused by a malfunction in the electrical wiring system, which would explain why so many flats were affected at the same time.
