20 years after Hurricane Katrina, St. Bernard Parish is still recovering
Kevin Potter poses for a portrait in his home in Chalmette, St. Bernard Parish, on Aug. 20. He returned home after Hurricane Katrina. The neighborhood was flooded due to the nearby Mississippi River–Gulf Outlet Canal shipping channel, which did not have a storm surge barrier at the time.

Hurricane Katrina flooded nearly every building in St. Bernard Parish near New Orleans in 2005. Twenty years later, the community is still rebuilding and flood protections encouraged some to return.
