The authors draw on methods across the social sciences to examine disaster response and recovery as viewed by those in positions of authority (Part I) and the 'recipients' of operations (Part II). These first two sections examine cases from Hurricane Katrina, while Part III compares this to other international disasters to draw out general lessons and practical applications for disaster planning in any context. The authors also offer guidance for shaping institutional structures to better meet the needs of communities and residents.
