Katrina – a reminder
![Page 20: New Orleans Service Trip 2010 A](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022103116/55900d411a28abca3d8b46e3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Ninth Ward or 9th Ward is a distinctive region of New Orleans, that is located in the easternmost downriver portion of the city. It is geographically the largest of the 17 wards of New Orleans.
The Lower Ninth Ward flooded most catastrophically, with storm surge coming through two large breaches in the Industrial Canal flood protection system, creating violent currents that not only flooded buildings, but smashed them and displaced them from their foundations.
