A resolution recognizing the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

This is a Senate Resolution recognizing the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Introduced in the 119th Congress, the resolution commemorates the victims, honors the responders and affected communities, and acknowledges the broad national and international relief efforts that followed the storm. It highlights the extensive damage and loss of life Katrina caused in 2005 and outlines the subsequent investments and improvements to coastal resilience, particularly the levee system in Louisiana, evacuation planning, and infrastructure hardening. The resolution also reaffirms the Senate’s commitment to protecting the Gulf Coast from future storms and to continuing flood mitigation and resilience efforts, including promoting affordable flood insurance. As a non-binding expression of Congress, the bill functions as a ceremonial and commemorative measure rather than new or enforceable policy. It draws attention to past actions and ongoing commitments aimed at improving preparedness, response, and mitigation for Gulf Coast communities.
