Rescue basket used during Hurricane Katrina, ca. 2005. Creator: Unknown
In August 2005, Atlantic Hurricane Katrina caused over 1, 800 deaths and $125 billion in damage, particularly in the city of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. There were claims that race, class, and other factors could have contributed to delays in government response. The rescue basket is constructed almost entirely of welded type 304 stainless steel. The bail assembly folds into the basket for compact stowage. The structural integrity of the bail is provided by o" stainless steel cable acting as the hinge point. The bottom is enclosed with a plastic, semi-rigid net liner with 1" openings. The float covers are constructed of 1050 denier nylon ballistic cloth with a marine urethane coating. Each cover is printed with safety pictorials and has high intensity retro-reflective markings. These technical details are from the online company catalog: www.lifesupportintl.com
