A California Challenge— Flooding in the Central Valley

We Led People to Believe They Were Safe l The Assumption is Protection l We Don’t Talk About or Prepare for Disaster

Why Didn’t Anyone Seem to Understand the Threat?

John M. Barry l Football Coach, Political Writer l Prize-winning and New York Times best- selling author »The Great Influenza »Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America l Member East Orleans Levee Board

Managing Flood Protection l Post-Katrina: “Too Many Cooks” l Louisiana Levee Boards –11>2 –Goal: regional boards l Still challenges » Fights over priorities and resources-- litigation – west bank and vs east bank; Plaquemines Parish government vs. Orleans Levee District, \ –areas to west without protection (Terrebone) vs other parts of Louisiana »New governor holding his cards close

Managing Flood Protection The politics of solutions are harder than working out the engineering solutions (and engineering not easy)

New Orleans Raises National Policy Issues l No ability to set priorities »Cut down OMB's influence »Need base-closing commission to set priorities on water projects l Support for flood protections has changed over time

Fox Point Hurricane Barrier Providence, Rhode Island 1950’s

New Orleans Raises National Policy Issues l No ability to set priorities »Cut down OMB's influence »Need base-closing commission to set priorities on water projects l Support for flood protections has changed over time l Ludicrous standard of 100 year protection

New Orleans Challenges l Lake Ponchartrain Cutoff l Bureaucracy- Corps (Corps Hero) »Too many cooks »Independent Reviews »Process too Slow

Back to Katrina -- What Could Be …. with a Vision and with a Policy A Comprehensive, Integrated, and Clearly Defined Approach to Post-Katrina Activity

Effective and Balanced Flood Damage Reduction Coastal Restoration Navigation Water Quality Water Supply Infrastructure Renewal HOW?

Support for New Orleans l Washington has not lived up to promises l Sympathy for New Orleans has dissipated both around the state and in Washington. l Half-life of a memory of a flood is very short -Gilbert White l Water is at margin of discussion in Washington l Presidential Candidates

John Barry Bottom Line I am "realistically hopeful" if still not optimistic
