I was caught on the freeway for hours when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. The entire city had to be evacuated. I observed lives threatened by catastrophes and a whole range of behaviour. What could people do during a crisis?

Ich wurde stundenlang auf der Autobahn gefangen, als der Hurrikan Katrina New Orleans verwüstete. Die ganze Stadt musste evakuiert werden. Ich habe von Katastrophen bedrohte Leben und eine ganze Reihe von Verhaltensweisen beobachtet. Was können Menschen in einer Krise tun?
