The Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce (IPET) mission is to provide credible, objective scientific and engineering answers to fundamental questions about the performance of the hurricane protection and flood damage reduction system in the New Orleans metropolitan area. This requires assembling a comprehensive set of data and information about the conditions before and after Hurricane Katrina, as well as a complete history of the hurricane protection projects’ construction and maintenance.
This collection of data will serve as the repository for information and analytic results developed throughout the performance evaluation.
