Gulf Coast RecoveryMore
Four years ago Hurricane Katrina struck a devastating blow to New Orleans, a city of exceptional historic and cultural value. This human tragedy risked being compounded by a cultural catastrophe. The National Trust for Historic Preservation quickly mobilized and, with our local partners, coordinated nearly a thousand volunteers, technical assistance, and grants. All of this could only be done with the quick and generous contributions of major donors, an outpouring of smaller donations, and the work of hundreds of dedicated volunteers.
Announcement
The National Trust for Historic Preservation's field office in New Orleans -- opened in the weeks following Hurricane Katrina -- will close at the end of September. While the economic reality of the current recession is forcing us to make this decision, we remain committed to the long term recovery of the city and to the preservation of its historic resources.
