Meal revived, Louisiana (AP) - Isaac turned into the hurricane in the gulf of Mexico coast this week, the federal protection New Orleans dam system to do his work. But strewn at random have the flood control wall shielding branch offices outside of the urban and rural fishing and farming community not drench storm game.
Cleaning starts on Friday, an old debate become more pressing is worth billions of dollars to build better dam, sparsely, natural prone to flooding area?
Since the 2005 years since hurricane katrina, the United States army engineers have been dropped from across many southern Louisiana provide protection idea, reason is doubt whether the improvement work, whether the money can be better used in elsewhere.
No, to coincide with the local people, they feel abandoned.
"Every time you have a hurricane, you have to spend a lot of money, search and rescue, the reconstruction of churches, schools, everything, just like here's revived, said:" Charles j. Ballay, pula KeMing parish area procurators, he rode on steamboat looking for stranded residents. "This is a category 1 storm and see it do anything."
Town baseball field, a lake, water lapping inside the sitting room and children's toys the high water cut short. Not far away, though, the ranchers realized tried to save standing in a group of cattle, neck deep in the flood.
In the coastal Louisiana about 10000 people live in the outside mass, protect the New Orleans dam system, almost all of the people in the flood period, the risk of a big storm.
For decades, Louisiana has urged the federal government to erect is bigger, the stronger area vulnerable to hurricane dam. In order to better protect increased after the voice of Isaac.
Democratic senator Mary orchid drew said: "these people not worth it," WVUE - TV galbraith waite, community near the roof of the submerged, nearby the federal levee Isaac storm flood. "We must work harder to win and protect everyone's, you know, on one side of the river bank, it is completely dry. The house is safe. The whole family returned to normal. But on the other side, it is a nightmare.
Matt Ranatza, a farmer in the jesuits, a small town in indiana federal system in pula KeMing says, this kind of circumstance that he "mad."
"There is a very good levee behind my house, they will have a fixed, this is the risk of dike diffuse top," he said. "They just said, we are not to do this is a crime.
Huey Galmiche, oil service salesman who escape escape from Isaac said, parish is worth preserving, because it is a hub of the oil and gas industry. Any time a major highway flooded, oil production was cut off.
"It cost us the money, for me, everyone to buy a gallon of gasoline, OK?" He said. "Improved levee in the long run may save the money."
Katrina in New Orleans cause about 1400 people dead and caused a flood, cover about 80% of the city. Disaster exposure weak and unreliable, leading to the bianconeri engineering standard revision puts forward a new dam system more expensive.
In hurricanes, the bianconeri fixed $14 billion to a new lock and flood control wall and heightening dam flood protection of New Orleans. But, however, having not these efforts contains many more small community outside of the city, the agency has been striving to these areas to provide any additional defense.
In June, corps scrapped plans to build $$100 million of dam system, in order to protect the Mississippi River estuarine pull blessing assorted southwest of New Orleans between regions.
The agency said it could not find a kind of economical and feasible way to build the dam or raise enough groundskeeper nine parish in storm only a 1% chance of happened in any given year, also known as the 100 years of protection.
Meanwhile, another big levee project designed to protect Morganza to gulf project, however, is held on, because similar cost and benefit of the doubt.
In the press conference on Friday, blue drew says she hopes piers will get attention, republican presidential candidate mitt romney, who destroyed area tour.
She hopes, Mr Romney see, engineer corp of insufficient funds.
Blue drew said: "I know, he is all about cuts in the federal budget,". "But, this is a mechanism can not, absolutely can't, take any additional cuts."
Now, Louisiana his hope in the state of money, is expected to increase in the next few years offshore oil and natural gas of the royalty and other sources, such as money British petroleum (BP PLC) is expected to pay for its 2010 years of oil spill events the damage.
However, even if the Louisiana has begun to guess, are trying to protect all the wisdom.
Since this year, the country has issued a overall planning, focus on set up so-called "ring dam" around town and city, rather than set up the Great Wall of the system to protect the larger area.
"We have on the beach drew some line," said Joseph Suhayda, coastal Marine consultant. "There is a large area, in order to protect, population density and the property of the factors in somewhere."
But, the construction of DAMS need time, it is not clear that they is a reliable, long-term solutions.
In the state of Louisiana soil condition requirements is lax, DAMS sink, must improve every time in a period of time and the new dirt. It can be expensive, find the right material makes.
In addition, Louisiana coastal due to rising sea levels, oil drilling, and even stop added wetland spring flood levee construction, and gradually weakened. Since the 1930 s, the country has lost about 1900 square miles of land and scientists warned that will follow.
Paul kemp, coastal geologist who is responsible for the national audubon society of the gulf of Mexico coast initiative, say, a lot of people in Louisiana coast and behind the dam system.
In the pola KeMing because katrina "you see," kemp said. "There is no reconstruction. This is a pile of trailer. What kind of future: people will levee behind a house, and then have more disposable outside of the dike."
