On August 29, 2005, Louisiana's Nunez Community College and its entire service area was struck by Hurricane Katrina, in what would become the greatest natural disaster to affect the United States in recorded history. St. Bernard Parish, the home parish of the campus, was almost completely decimated as it took a direct hit and suffered flood waters that in many areas did not recede for weeks. The first floor of every building on the Chalmette campus was flooded more than seven feet. The College became an oasis in the ravaged parish and a catalyst for business and industry revitalization as it opened the campus for business in January of 2006 and resumed classes on campus on January 25, 2006.

Elaine P. Nunez Community College is a unique institution of higher learning with an equally unique history. The College bears the name of the late wife of the Honorable Samuel B. Nunez, Jr., President of the Louisiana State Senate from 1982-1988 and from 1990-1996, and was the first public institution of higher learning in Louisiana to be named for a woman.

As restoration began, Interactive Touchscreen Solutions, Inc. was proud to assist in improving NCC's ability to communicate with students, staff and visitors through three Navigo Touchscreen Directory Systems in the college's three main buildings. The Navigo Systems allow users to find staff and classrooms with directions and maps as well search for notifications regarding campus events.
