After more than a year of partnership and preparation, work has begun on installing a historic plaque at the breach site of the Industrial Canal.
The pole, installed in a cement block on city property, marks where a historic plaque will be unveiled on Monday August 24 at 6:00 p.m.
An unveiling event will mark the 10th anniversary of the worst civil engineering disaster in the history of the United States.
On August 29, 2005, federal levees designed and built by the Army Corps of Engineers failed during Hurricane Katrina.
The unveiling ceremony will take place at the T-intersection of Jourdan Avenue and N. Johnson Street, New Orleans.
For the past ten years, there has been nothing at the site to commemorate the breach event.
