WASHINGTON - The Homeland Security Department was warned a day before Hurricane Katrina hit that the storm?s surge could breach levees and leave New Orleans flooded for weeks or months, documents released Monday show.

An Aug. 28 report by the department?s National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center concluded that a Category 4 or 5 hurricane would cause severe damage in the city, including power outages and a direct economic hit of up to $10 billion for the first week.

?Overall, the impacts described herein are conservative,? stated the report, which was sent to Homeland Security?s office for infrastructure protection.

Levee problems predicted, documents show. 😕
