U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District Commander, Col. Rick Hansen, talks to media at the 17th Street Canal pumping station in New Orleans, Wednesday, May 20, 2015. With hurricane season approaching, the Corps is running through its plans and testing pumps and floodgates built around New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina struck 10 years ago to better protect this low-lying metropolis from flooding. Corps officials said they found a few minor problems during the testing and were fixing them. Otherwise, officials said the system is ready and in better shape than ever before. Hurricane season starts on June 1 and lasts until Nov. 30. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
