Response to Should We Abandon Louisiana? In some ways, we already have.

    Should We Rebuild Louisiana by Zack Kopplin is an article that addresses the question: Should we rebuild Louisiana after the flood? During the flood in August, there were 13 people who died and many people who were dispersed all over Louisiana knowing they might have lost everything. This was the biggest disaster since Hurricane Sandy in the United States. Unlike Hurricane Sandy, this flood did not have any media attention before the flooding began. Kopplin says, many people woke up one morning with water in their house. Hurricane Sandy was in the media for a while before it actually hit, but no one expected the flooding Louisianans got. 

This disaster was devastating to Louisiana's People, Ecosystems and culture but facing the facts the people of Louisiana have persevered by gutting their houses. I think this is what we should do because if we don't stay and abandon Louisiana then we lose this culturally diverse area within the United States. Many people cannot rebuild due to the governmental organization FEMA not supplying flood evacuees enough money to rebuild. I feel like the government should be focused more on finding ways to prevent this culturally diverse heartland instead of finding places to relocate inhabitants of Louisiana.
