We toured some parts of New Orleans where the damage was still found everywhere (as opposed to Slidell where many repairs had already been made). The buildings were marked with a code that told what had been searched and found (some of the messages were very grim). Some places had been cleared, some had trailers that people were living in, three years later. Some places had one house in the middle of a block repaired, surrounded by others that were vacant, badly damaged and overgrown. Many had lots with just a set of porch steps left.
