• Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005.
• The storm led to the deaths of nearly 1,400 and left behind billions of dollars in damage.
• The Federal Emergency Management Agency came under intense criticism for its response.
• Still, for many Americans, FEMA remains a vital agency when disasters hit, and a new poll shows widespread support across party lines.
