The 8/29 Investigation would examine decades of possibly flawed governmental policy at the federal, state and local level. It would be a comprehensive analysis of flood protection projects and the effects of coastal erosion. It would also examine how federally water projects in the Upper Midwest and High Plains may have caused Louisiana to lose land.

What would the Investigation look at?
Louisiana and the nation deserve a truly independent investigation of the flood protection failures – and the decision making that led to those failures – during Hurricane Katrina.
