THE NEWS:
In April 2011, the Louisiana State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) confirmed that Levees.org’s 28-page documentation of the two levee breaches (how and why they occurred, their significance, etc) has been placed in a public file that federal agencies must use when undertaking any activities at the breach sites.
In addition, the information in this file may be consulted by media, groups and individuals interested in the history of New Orleans’ levee systems, and the events surrounding the breaching of the levees during Hurricane Katrina.
To assist the Louisiana SHPO in preparing the final draft for formal inclusion on the Register, Levees.org is posting the Draft Nomination on our website to solicit public comments on the text and digital letters of support which we will forward to the State.
