A decision making exercise (set up as a lesson) looking at future options for protecting New Orleans from hurricanes/flooding New Orleans lies below sea level with a levee system that was designed for hurricanes of no greater intensity than Category 3. The city’s natural defence of the surrounding marshland has been drained, built on or eroded away. A computer model predicted that up to 250,000 people could die in the next Category 5 storm. The US Government has four options for the 21st Century… Option 1: Regenerate the wetlands of the Mississippi Delta Option 2: Maintain and heighten the existing levées Option 3: Do nothing, let nature take her course Option 4: Evacuate the people of New Orleans in hazardous times
