A facility made up of trailers in Robert, Louisiana, served as temporary office space for displaced Shell employees after Hurricane Katrina.

______________________________
One of the major challenges facing companies in the New Orleans area is finding places for employees to live. Some have set up trailers on their property. Yesterday the New York Times carried this story about how Shell addressed this challenge. They invested more than $30 million in purchasing property that could be used by employees.

THE KATRINA MEMO was first launched in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when issues of class, race and poverty re-emerged as major national issues.The original goal was to keep a focus on post-Katrina reconstruction and the issues that surfaced out of what was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. While we continue to focus on what's happening in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast we'll also explore broader social and political issues that are of concern to all Americans.
