News 12's senior reporter Tara Rosenblum was presented with a "golden key" to the city of Biloxi, Mississippi.

The honor was given to Rosenblum for her weeks-long coverage down in the Gulf Coast during Hurricane Katrina.

The deadly and devastating Category 5 storm claimed more than 1,300 lives and left millions homeless.

One Greenburgh woman turned to Tara after her mom went missing down south - and our coverage led to her safe return.

Pastor Robert Keith Williams from White Rock Baptist Church in Mount Vernon was also honored for his generous contributions to the many families left displaced in Mississippi 19 years ago next week.
