The 2005 hurricane season made an indelible mark on the Southeast.
Dennis, Wilma, and Rita took their toll, but Hurricane Katrina pummeled
New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
The Atlanta Fed felt the blow just like countless businesses and individuals
in the affected area. Throughout the fall season, staff at the New
Orleans Branch showed amazing dedication to the Federal Reserve even
as they tried to piece their own lives back together.

This year’s annual report is dedicated to the staff of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta and to the people of the Gulf Coast region.
The ruin inflicted upon so many of them in late August was quickly
replaced by a resilience of spirit in the aftermath of the storms,
and, by the end of 2005, residents and business owners were beginning
to look ahead toward restoration of their way of life.

The 2005 Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta annual report was printed and posted on our Web site with an inadvertent error in the Financial Notes section. Under number 6, “Bank premises, equipment, and software” (page 53), in the final column of the first table, the second number (for “buildings” in 2004) should be 245 ($ million) rather than 24 ($ million). This error has been corrected in both the text and PDF versions posted here. We apologize for any inconvenience this oversight may have caused. |
