These interviews were sponsored by the Julien Poydras Museum and Arts Council and were conducted in 2007, just two years after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans residents who relocated to Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, after Katrina discuss their unique perspectives and experiences of the storm, recount their struggles with evacuating, displacement, loss, and dealing with the state and federal systems in place such as FEMA, the Red Cross, and the Louisiana Recovery Authority. Interviewees speak of their lives after the hurricane in Pointe Coupee Parish, and how they started over, developed a new sense of community, and regained stability.
