This is so similar to Galveston 1901 (Isaac's Storm). Another part of this tragedy, particularly in NOLA, is that because they are below sea level and bury their dead above ground (and there will be no access to the ground for awhile), these bodies will have to be morgued or cremated quickly. And who knows what kind of identification maze this is going to create.

They probably will take a picture of the face, then do either a mass burial, or a mass incineration, to stave off malaria and typhiod.

Ah, not only will there be a problem burying the new dead, but the populace will be revisited by the corpses of the already dead. In NO when they have a storm of this magnitude, it washes the bodies, already buried in cemeteries, out of their graves. Terrible, terrible, there are just no words!
