This resolution observes the 20th anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which caused widespread devastation across the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina, a Category 3 storm, resulted in 1,833 fatalities and an estimated $161 billion in damages, displacing over a million people and destroying hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. Shortly after, Hurricane Rita, also a Category 3, caused 120 fatalities and an additional $10 billion in damages, further impacting millions with evacuations and power outages. The resolution acknowledges the courageous efforts of first responders, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Armed Forces, and numerous charitable organizations in rescue and relief operations. It highlights significant progress in rebuilding, citing increased population and tourism in affected areas, while also recognizing the resilience of residents. Ultimately, the House of Representatives expresses support for victims, commends recovery efforts, and reaffirms its commitment to the continued rebuilding, renewal, and restoration of the Gulf Coast region.
