Five years older and none the wiser. That’s the state of disaster preparedness in the United States, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.

The looming hurricane season and filmy residue of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill hanging over the Gulf Coast would have made it difficult to put an upbeat spin on the anniversary of Katrina in any case, but the Pew survey highlighted the bleak attitude many hold regarding the progress—or lack thereof—that’s been made since 2005.

The survey, conducted in August, tried to gauge impressions of overall preparedness and progress in rebuilding New Orleans. Of the 1,003 people surveyed nationwide, 57 percent said the nation was no better prepared for a hurricane or other natural disaster than it was when Katrina struck. Opinions on rebuilding were slightly more optimistic with 69 percent saying a lot or some progress had been made.

However, those attitudes on progress rebuilding were sharply divided across demographics, according to the survey overview. For instance, 75 percent of Republicans said a lot or some progress had been made, compared to 63 percent of Democrats. Those living in the South were about twice as likely as those living elsewhere to say a lot of progress had been made, according to the survey.
