NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- The number of deaths in Louisiana blamed on Hurricane Katrina has risen to 799, the state's Department of Health and Hospitals said Wednesday, bringing the overall death toll from the storm to 1,033.

Mississippi reports 219 people killed in the storm, Florida's toll is 11 dead and Alabama and Georgia each report 2 killed.

The new total came as Louisiana prepares for a second hurricane, Rita, which strengthened to a Category 4 storm -- the same level as Katrina when it slammed into the Louisiana-Mississippi border on August 29. Rita's maximum sustained winds were about 140 mph
