In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, New Orleans needed a plan to resettle residents safely and ensure a disaster of that scale never happened again.

In 2006, Dr. Elizabeth English founded the Buoyant Foundation Project, which retrofits already existing structures into flotation devices. The project has already been successfully implemented in flood-threatened areas in the U.S., Nicaragua, Bangladesh, and Vietnam.
