摘要：	The summer of 2022 witnessed the first August without a named tropical storm in many years, and the Propeller Club of New Orleans had unknowingly chosen an ideal time for Capt. (Ret.) Frank Paskewich to review the remarkable response and lessons learned by the U.S. Coast Guard during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.Speaking at the Metairie Country Club on August 31, Paskewich cited an approval rating from the federal Government Accounting Office that listed the Coast Guard's response as the major positive action by government agencies in the aftermath of the storm that inundated New Orleans, with 80 percent of the city flooded after multiple levees breached.The Coast Guard rescued 33,500 people from the flood waters using mostly boats and helicopters.Now the president of Clean Gulf Associates Inc., an oil spill response company under contract with 77 Gulf of Mexico-based exploration and production clients, Paskewich explained that in 2005 the Coast Guard had just undergone a realignment process, and he was selected as the first captain to head the newly created Sector New Orleans, in addition to his Captain of the Port responsibilities.
