SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The Gulf Coast region of the United States was recently
decimated by twin natural disasters: Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita.
(2) Hurricane Katrina crashed into the Gulf Coast on August
29, 2005, as a category 4 storm.
(3) At the time of its landing, Hurricane Katrina was
recorded as the third strongest hurricane to ever make landfall
on the United States, with sustained winds over 140 miles per
hour.
(4) The damage and destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina
along the coastal regions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Alabama were unmatched in their breadth and scope.
(5) A 10- to 30-foot storm surge came ashore on over 200
continuous miles of coastline from southeast Louisiana,
including Mississippi and Alabama, through to the Florida
panhandle.
(6) The 30-foot storm surge recorded at Biloxi,
Mississippi, is the highest ever observed in the United States.
(7) Hurricane Katrina's storm surge quickly breached the
levee system that protected the city of New Orleans from Lake
Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River, subsequently flooding
at least 80 percent of the city.
(8) The magnitude of Hurricane Katrina was of such an
unprecedented scale that the Federal disaster declarations
which followed its destructive path blanketed over 90,000
square miles of the United States, an area almost as large as
the United Kingdom, displacing more than 1,000,000 people--a
humanitarian crisis on a scale unseen in the United States
since the Great Depression.
(9) The storm has now become the most destructive and
costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States,
resulting in over 1,300 deaths and estimated damage between
$70,000,000,000 and $130,000,000,000.
(10) Less than one month later, on September 24, 2005, the
region was battered again, this time by the strongest-measured
hurricane to ever have entered the Gulf of Mexico--Hurricane
Rita.
(11) Hurricane Rita came ashore between Texas and Louisiana
as a category 3 hurricane, packing winds up to 120 miles per
hour and a storm surge of 10 feet.
(12) A day prior to landfall, the resultant storm surge
also reopened some of the levee breaches caused by Hurricane
Katrina a month earlier and re-flooded parts of New Orleans.
(13) Local storm surges of 15 to 20 feet in southwestern
Louisiana were reported, and damage was extensive in coastal
parishes.
(14) Thousands of residents and families in the effected
States, who lived outside the 100-year flood plain and were
told they did not need flood insurance, suffered significant
damage to their homes and in many cases total losses.
(15) These families are currently without any type of
permanent shelter or any means by which to acquire such shelter
or otherwise make themselves whole, thus crippling the Gulf
Coast region and its economy.
(16) Because of the unprecedented magnitude of the storm
and the impact that the devastation of such a large region will
have on the United States as a whole, the Federal Government
should play a role in providing emergency assistance to these
families to help them rebuild and get on with their lives.
