Drew Angerer/Getty Images, FILEFollowing the devastation, Congress authorized and funded the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System, which built and strengthened 133 miles of perimeter around New Orleans and surrounding areas to protect it from storm surge and pump out excess water. Today, it's run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Colten said that winds, which fuel storm surge, in Ida were favorable in protecting New Orleans in the way they blew over Lake Pontchartrain, but the wind did push water into other communities, near the western end of the lake that suffered severe flooding.Gov. John Bel Edwards touted the success of the levee system as a “silver lining” of Ida’s wrath.
In LaPlace, a western suburb of New Orleans, work had recently begun on a long-awaited levee project, but it wasn't completed and the area was inundated with floodwaters. But even though officials were more prepared when it came to warning and educating residents on the impending storm, the 911 system in New Orleans was still temporarily knocked out on Sunday as Hurricane Ida made landfall.its wireless network was operating at 60% of normal capacity with “significant outages” in New Orleans and Baton Rouge due to flooding and storm damage, echoing the cell service outages of Katrina.
Hooray for infastructure !!

I’m not entirely familiar with the infrastructure in the south, but this will be an increasing problem until the utility companies and government bury all the utility lines. No more “telephone poles” and overhead power lines.
Isn’t it the Republicans who don’t want to improve infrastructure?
