Hurricane/Tropical Storm - Plaquemines Parish, La. , September 14, 2005 -- A 25 foot storm surge from Hurricane Katrina wiped out the original Plaquemines Parish detention center and Sheriff's offices. It was a single story, 800-bed structure. It was declared 98% destroyed, making it eligible for replacement funding under FEMA's Public Assistance program. The new detention center is being built back on the same 70-acre original site and will have the same inmate holding capacity, but is being built 18 feet above the ground. This is being done to meet the elevation standards required by the new Digital Flood Information Rating Maps. Photo by FEMA/Manuel Broussard.

Title: Buras Auditorium (After)
Production Date: 03/20/2009
Caption: Plaquemines Parish, La. , March 20, 2009 -- A 15ft storm surge and 9ft residual floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina damaged the interior of the building. Winds from the hurricane caused the water tower located next the auditorium to collapse and destroyed the entire roof as well as the interior of the auditorium. The roof needed to be replaced and the interior (including the wood flooring) needed to be gutted down to the brick shell and rebuilt. The building was built in the early 1940's and has been deemed eligible for the National Registrar for Historic Places. All damages were repaired in-kind or to the Secretary of the Interiors standards for treatment of historic properties. Plaquemines Parish worked hand in-hand with FEMA's Environmental & Historic Preservation to rebuild the auditorium to pre-existing condition. The Buras Auditorium will serve the same purpose as it did pre-Katrina. The Auditorium is used for stage shows/performances, community center, meetings, parish offices, weddings, and parties.
