👉 Katrina research, following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, focuses on understanding the complex interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors that contributed to the disaster's impact and recovery efforts. It examines how systemic issues like poverty, racial segregation, and inadequate infrastructure exacerbated the hurricane's effects on New Orleans and its residents. Researchers analyze data on evacuation patterns, housing displacement, health outcomes, and community resilience to identify vulnerabilities and inform more effective disaster preparedness and response strategies. This research also explores the long-term social and economic consequences of the disaster, including the challenges faced by marginalized communities in rebuilding their lives and the broader implications for urban planning and policy in hurricane-prone areas.
