To Billcats point about the Dutch maybe their expertise in dealing with land below sea level can be sought after all they have centuries of experience in this. I am not saying they should go and do the job because of the difference in the problems but I am sure that the engineers can adapt it to their local situation to take a Cat 5 huricane. In these times of global change any experience in improving the defences is better than letting it happen again. It would be short term pain in the cost department but a long term gain in the same if it stops another disaster like Katrina. There are countries that have found solutions to natural disasters and they if asked could help. People should feel as safe as possible in their own homes were ever they live.

As for London there was a few weeks ago a program that showed what would happen if the barrier and everything else failed and is was somewhat scary. Better to act now than pay the price later.
