Forget all the tourist-friendly BS. Pretty soon the city's psyche--which is as twisted & knotty as a cypress knee--will be laid bare as thousands upon thousands of displaced New Orleanians attempt to blend into new communities. Bear in mind many of these are people who have lived in NO for upwards of 6 generations, and some who have never left it before, period. It's going to be like putting saltwater fish in a freshwater aquarium.
Although I've never lived there and no offense intended but I've never really cared for N.O.. As they probably (and others at that) don't care much for Houstonians. N.O. is not my cup of tea. But I don't wish them ill will.
