Hurricane Katrina: Performance of Transportation Systems is a comprehensive evaluation of the Gulf coast's bridge, railroad, and roadway performance following Hurricane Katrina.

Throughout the Gulf coast, bridges sustained minor to major damage, with several in Mississippi and Louisiana completely collapsing. Similarly, countless railways and roads were impeded by massive piles of debris. This book is a thorough account of Hurricane Katrina's devastating impact upon the Gulf Coast's major transportation systems.
