Hurricane Katrina Health Information and Links
In the weeks and months during our Nation’s
recovery from the effects of Hurricane Katrina,
veterans who use the health care system of the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will need
focused VA health care for consequences of the
events caused by the hurricane as well as for their
own acute and chronic health needs unrelated to the
hurricane.
This page provides documents and links for
veteran patients and VA staff who care for them on
the special health needs of those affected by the
hurricane and its aftermath.
