Katrina has a death toll measured around 1000-2000.
The population of New Orleans alone is 1.5 million, so 1‰ of the population died.
That's a pretty small number, and tells me that society coped just fine.
Crop failures caused by volcanic eruptions, which kill 50% of the world population, is a far bigger issue. It is also something mankind will recover from in a couple of generations.
