On November 30^th , No Fault completed a very special safety tile installation at Treme’ Community Center in New Orleans, La. Treme’, a neighborhood located next to the infamous French Quarter, was one of the areas of New Orleans that was hit the hardest by Hurricane Katrina. When Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city of New Orleans, it revealed the struggles that longtime residents faced. It took two weeks before residents were allowed to return to the neighborhood of Treme’ due to 3-6 feet of standing water. When residents returned, they found their property destroyed by flood waters, strong winds, fire and vandalism. Thanks to the efforts of many, Treme is now well known worldwide and the inspiration of the HBO series Treme'.

The history filled neighborhood was named after Claude Treme’, who migrated from Sauvigny Burgundy, France in 1783. Treme’ is considered to be one of America’s most unusual neighborhoods and has been around for quite some time. The small neighborhood celebrated its 200^th anniversary in October. Treme’ has a unique history for music and culture, even for the city of New Orleans, and has played a significant role in the history of jazz.

In 2010 , No Fault installed their premier safety surfacing at Musicians Village, located in the lower ninth ward. This new neighborhood, financed primarily with donations and volunteer labor,  was constructed in the most devastated area of New Orleans and was built around a music center, where musicians can teach and perform.
