In September 2005, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco selected Dr. Ivor van Heerden to lead the state’s major study of the Army Corps of Engineers’ levee breaches in New Orleans.

That report – called Team Louisiana – was the first report made public that faulted the corps for the catastrophic flooding.

So we were puzzled to learn that the seminal paper was no longer available online. That’s when we took matters into our own hands. 

We asked Dr. van Heerden to send us the final version on DVD so we could upload it to Levees.org’s website. But why stop there?

We also uploaded every major study, all six of them.

This is not the first time a group of volunteers with negligible income stream has done what super-funded organizations could have done before.
