Look at all the devastation that the hurricane caused. There are probably still people still buried under all those wind blown homes. The rebuilding process is going to take several years,especially rebuilding the dam holding back all the sea water otherwise you're going to see more flooding again.
The original residents don't want to rebuild so FEMA has to get private contractors to do it. And even then you have fraud and waste with those guys.

From what the media reports CNN/Robin there $129 million missing in funds for redeveloping the city that can't be accounted for.
There's about 65% of the residents missing that won't answer or can't be found. They went to the four corners of the globe and just walked away from thier homes, leaving them, some were never touched by the winds or floods.
As soon as most people got thier insurance or support money, they walked away. Some can't be found, again.
Entire neighboorhoods are empty.
The residents of New Orleans have forgotten thier own city, we're sending and paying for volunteers to go there only to find empty homes.
We just sent a church group of volunteers down there to help. No one was there to meet them as was suppose to, they had no where to stay, they had to fend for themselves for bedding and food, no one seemd to know what was going on. They came back and the money we donated for materials, was sent to St.Judes, hospital for children.

Because the whole response to it was a complete cluster-***, because we have developed the national attention span of a collective gnat, because the recovery can't happen overnight, and because there were so many brown people involved. When Mardi Gras resumed, and the country could once again come to party with impunity, and even feeling self-justification, they ceased to care what happened to the poor people there.

its not forgotten, it's just that some people expect miracles, not realizing how much devastation a hurricane really causes, which takes years to recover from.
