Episode #36 - Through the Eye of the Storm: Hurricane Katrina 20 Years Later

In this episode of Investigation: Homicide, Nicole and Amanda sit down with Robert Latham, retired Director of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), to reflect on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina; a storm that forever changed the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Robert shares his perspective on the monumental challenges faced by first responders, local leaders, and everyday citizens in the days and weeks following the storm. From coordinating emergency response efforts amid unprecedented destruction to addressing the overwhelming needs of displaced families, he provides a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to hold communities together in the face of crisis.

This conversation explores not only the devastation left in Katrina’s wake but also the resilience and determination of Mississippi’s people. Robert discusses the lessons learned, the importance of preparation, and the spirit of unity that emerged when neighbors, volunteers, and responders came together to rebuild.

Through stories of heartbreak, heroism, and hope, this episode offers a powerful reminder of the impact Katrina had on the Gulf Coast and the lasting legacy it left behind.
