Hurricane Katrina produced unprecedented destruction, resulting in
disaster debris from vegetation and man-made structures. Before
Katrina, the event that left behind the greatest recorded amount of
disaster-related debris in the United States was Hurricane Andrew
in 1992, which generated 43 million cubic yards (CY) of debris in
Florida's Metro-Dade County. When the demolition of damaged
property in the New Orleans metropolitan area is complete,
Hurricane Katrina will have generated more than 100 million CY of
disaster debris.
