The Day of the Cajundome Mega-shelter: The Small City That Sprang Up in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina

A 160-page book that describes how the Cajundome in Lafayette, La., evolved into the nation’s first mega-shelter in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. With a population of over 7,000 at its peak, this facility became a model for the rest of the nation, with its own medical clinic, security systems and other amenities of a small city.
