On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made its final landfall in St. Tammany Parish. 

On the pages of this website, St. Tammany Parish is making available some of the raw data from the Parish’s Emergency Operations Center.  This information is made public to ensure that the story of St. Tammany Parish is permanently recorded and available to students and researchers.  For a further explanation of the site and its creation, click here or click the Timeline Tab in the upper right hand corner.

The story section allows residents and those who aided St. Tammany in the aftermath of the storm a chance to tell their accounts in their own words.  It also allows the rest of us who lived through this event the opportunity to read those stories.  A photo section displays pictures from St. Tammany Parish, official media sources, and St. Tammany Parish citizens.  

Special acknowledgement must be given to the Time Picayune for allowing  the Parish to publish some of its web logs and photographs to provide another perspective on events.  Thanks also to the St. Tammany News, law enforcement agencies, the fire districts, first responders and other contributors to this site.
