Hurricane Katrina

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the flooded streets of New Orleans are filled with chaos as residents are stranded on rooftops, emergency responders navigate the waters in boats, and the Superd

Setting

Flooded streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, with water reaching up to the rooftops of single-story homes. The scene is chaotic, with debris floating in the murky water, including furniture, personal belongings, and tree branches. The Superdome looms in the background, overcrowded with evacuees.

TNGF
SELECTED
National Guard Sergeant
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of service. His face is weathered, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth, and a five o'clock shadow. His short-cropped hair is slightly disheveled from the chaos, and his eyes are sharp but tired.
Elderly Woman
primary
A frail African-American woman in her late 70s with silver-gray hair pulled into a loose bun, deep wrinkles around her eyes and mouth from a lifetime of smiles and worries. Her dark brown skin is weathered but soft, with age spots on her hands that grip the photo album tightly. She's slightly hunched from osteoporosis but maintains a quiet dignity in her posture.
Teenager
secondary
A lanky African-American boy, about 16 years old, with close-cropped hair and a lean, wiry build. His face is streaked with sweat and grime, and his arms show the beginnings of muscle definition from the physical labor of rescue efforts. His eyes are sharp and alert, scanning the flooded streets for those in need.
EMT
secondary
A weary EMT in their late 20s with a lean, athletic build, dark circles under their eyes from exhaustion, and a sunburned face. Their short-cropped hair is damp with sweat and floodwater, and their uniform is stained with dirt and medical supplies.
Neighbor
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and short, salt-and-pepper hair. His face is lined with stress and exhaustion, and his eyes are wide with panic. He has a slight limp, possibly from an old injury exacerbated by the current situation.
