Risk Matrix #106: Hurricane Katrina at 20: Lessons in Loss, Leadership, and Recovery

Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina, James Junkin revisits the storm that redefined emergency response and exposed critical failures in leadership, infrastructure, and preparedness.

From the decisions that delayed evacuation to the aftermath in flooded neighborhoods, this episode delivers an unflinching look at what went wrong—and what must never be forgotten.
