Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster caused by a powerful and destructive hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast. While there were some technological aspects involved, such as the failure of levees and flooding of the city of New Orleans, the primary cause was the hurricane itself. Intentional disasters are typically ones that are caused by human action, such as terrorism or sabotage, and do not apply to Hurricane Katrina.
