Chest
Deep and Rising
by
Patrick Yoes
is an astonishing look at the events before, during and after the Hurricane
Katrina disaster of 2005, from a unique point of view: a first responder in St.
Charles Parish, 20 miles west of New Orleans, one of the people whose assignment
was to protect life and property during extraordinary conditions.
The
book takes the reader through the 16 days of his and his fellow officers’
journey, from shortly before the hurricane struck Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama and traveled 120 miles inland—devastating an area about the size of
England—to the time when he felt they had turned the corner in New Orleans. He
also explores the reasons for the failures in emergency preparedness, the impact
of Hurricane Rita, and what needs to be done for the future.
Whether you were stuck
on the outside, helplessly watching the events unfold on television, or living
through the nightmare of Katrina yourself, Chest Deep and Rising is a deeply
important read, capturing a momentous, horrifying but also inspiring time in US
history.
