Brookings' Katrina-tracker

Naturally, this blog is the first place you go for regular updates on the post-hurricane recovery and rebuilding effort. But if you still want a handy overview of what's happening, who's doing it, how many people have moved back to New Orleans, etc., you may want to bookmark the Katrina Index from the Brookings Institution. It also includes lots of links to related information and articles.

If you're thinking about attending our Apartment Finance Today's Developer Conference in San Diego March 8-10, we will be featuring a special session on the Gulf Coast rebuilding effort, focusing on what multifamily owners, developers and managers are doing and can do. Panelists include National Apartment Association Executive Director Douglas Culkin, Bob Bussone of Camden Property Trust, Dan Markson of NRP Group, and Larry Schedler of Larry Schedler Associates.
