City officials are desperately trying to fix a portion of the levy that broke and is allowing lake water to fill the city of New Orleans. Officials are concerned that this could further the health risks that are associated with people walking around in the water. People who have open cuts as a result of stepping on glass or sharp objects are prone to further health complications.
The city of New Orleans is also continuing to urge residents that have not left the city to do as the city is not operational. The US Coast Guard continues to help rescue people who are stranded in their home and/or have been forced to their rooftops as the water level continues to rise. The Military Police is assisting local police to maintain law and order.
