Heroic Actions and Stories

Hurricane Katrina impacted more than 4,400 Shell employees, 1,100 of which were Exploration & Production employees who lived or worked in Louisiana or in the Gulf of Mexico. Many of their homes were damaged or destroyed. Some lost everything as floodwaters ravaged New Orleans neighborhoods.

 

The devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina presented Shell with both the difficult challenge of resuming operations in the area and with an opportunity to demonstrate its community leadership. Looking back at 2005 brings stories of team work, dedication and true heroism.
