The Creole Nature Trail All-American Road District (CNTAARD) Board of Commissioners understands its mission to be one of protecting, preserving and showcasing the intrinsic qualities that make Louisiana and the trail a one-of-a-kind experience. Hurricanes and other weather related phenomena have the greatest impact on the Trail and on the successful completion of the CNTAARD mission. It is for this reason, and many others, that the CNTAARD is pursuing the National Hurricane Museum & Science Center project.

Now that hurricanes Katrina and Rita have forever focused the nation's attention and resources on these recurring disasters, it is imperative that there be a comprehensive center to:

1. Interpret the effects of hurricanes on our land, people, culture and heritage;
2. Preserve artifacts and personal histories of those who have suffered through these events;
3. Showcase improvements in meteorology, technology, communications and building systems;
4. Offer a creative learning experience in the disciplines of math, pure sciences, history, geography, and social sciences as they relate to these weather phenomena.
5. The proposed National Hurricane Museum and Science Center in Southwest Louisiana will accomplish these things and more. It will chronicle and showcase all U.S. hurricanes of record, memorialize all victims, and emphasize the recent storms, as well as pay memorial homage to the 1957 Hurricane Audrey (when over 500 Louisianans lost their lives along what is now the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road).
