But we also saw the incredible strength of our people\u2014neighbors helping neighbors, communities refusing to give up, and a region committed to rising again. This resolution honors those we lost, those who served, and the work that continues to this day. This anniversary is not just about remembering what we lost. It\u2019s about recognizing how far we\u2019ve come and recommitting to ensuring our communities are prepared, supported, and never forgotten.\u201d\n\nHurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, followed less than a month later by Hurricane Rita on September 24, compounding destruction across the region. Together, the storms caused over 1,800 deaths and tens of billions in damages, displacing hundreds of thousands of Americans.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:57:50Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ezell.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1902"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8928969036787748, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
