Abstract:

Shortly after Katrina struck and public criticism of emergency management response began, the NSF funded a number of projects to study what happened in New Orleans. This roundtable will describe results from a household survey of New Orleans residents. Key questions include the determination of factors that affected their decision of whether and when to evacuate, what kind of post-Katrina experience they had, which agencies or groups provided useful help at different stages, and how those agencies and groups interacted.
