From the Paper:

"The part that New Orleans Port plays in the U.S. supply chain is a critical one, so critical that the disaster that took place due to Hurricane Katrina is stated to be "likely to drag down U.S. economic growth in the months ahead." (Helman, 2005) Economists believe that the effects "may be more lasting than those that usually follow big storms due to the "severity of the damage" (Helman, 2005) as well as the "unique geography of the New Orleans region." (Helman, 2005)"
