This memorial was created to honor the victims of 'Hurricane Katrina' on the exterior wall of the 'Saratoga Building' located at 212 Loyola Avenue across from the street from the New Orleans Main Public Library. This is the ONLY hurricane Katrina Memorial in Louisiana that displays the 1,800 plus names of the victims. To celebrate this monumental achievement and the unveiling of the Hurricane Katrina memorial we second lined from the convention center to the Saratoga Building with the Rebirth Brass Band and Poet Chuck Perkins who commemorated the memorial with a poem.
Established 2011
The most prominent feature of the Hurricane Katrina memorial is the 1,830 names of the men, women and children who lost their lives during Hurricane Katrina.
If you know anyone who lost their life during Hurricane Katrina please visit the memorial at 212 Loyola (Royal Sonesta Hotel) and say a few words in their memory. The names on the wall are a living account and serve as a historical record for the now and next generations. As long as we say their names and celebrate their lives then they will always be remembered.


The Hurricane Katrina Memorial in New Orleans holds deep significance for several reasons.
