A Mississippi Army National Guard (MSARNG) Soldier with the 47th Civil Support Team (CST), headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi (MS), spray paints the iconic graffiti of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath, the ubiquitous Day-Glo orange "X" left by search and rescue teams. The symbol records, clockwise from 12:00 o'clock, the date searched, the unit searching, the number of bodies found, and the existence of hazards, such as unstable structure, leaking gas, biological toxins, and so on.
