Gulf shipyards set up temporary housing so displaced workers can return to their jobs

摘要

The major Gulf Coast shipyards I emerged from Hurricane Katrina with a big problem. Many of them were not able to resume normal operations because workers have been slow to return to their jobs. That's because many of them had no homes to return to, or their residences were badly damaged. Among major Gulf coast shipyards, VT Halter Marine, in Pascagoula, Miss., probably was the hardest hit. Its location put it closest to the eastern edge of the eye of the story, with the most destructive winds.
