## Caption

Twenty years ago, #HurricaneKatrina's destruction plagued New Orleans' 2006 municipal elections – we're still feeling the impact on minority representation today.

💥 Over half of all #NewOrleans polling places were destroyed.
💥 The February 2006 election was delayed nearly 3 months.
💥 Due to displacement, voter turnout was severely depressed.

Katrina's impact must be a learning lesson for us to prioritize election resiliency when natural disasters occur.
