New Orleans is about 6 feet or so below sea level and that is why it is being evacuated. Anytime there is a hurricane threat, residents leave due to flooding danger. New Orleans has always suffered from this problem, hence the tradition of burying the dead above ground in entombed in stone structures. I hope this answers your questions.
