Background Information:

The City of Long Beach, Mississippi, population 17,000, was completely devastated by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The only structure left standing in the city’s downtown was a bank vault.  In December, FEMA provided two trailers to start rebuilding City Hall.   It will take years for the City of Long Beach, MS to rebuild.
