ProjectEnvironment, Justice, Politics The Lower Ninth After Katrina Documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the uneven efforts to rebuild that have left some residents behind. Broken steps are all that remain from a home destroyed by Hurricane Katrina flooding in the Lower Ninth Ward on May 12, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Residents continue to slowly return to the Lower Ninth Ward although much of the area remains uninhabited.
