| Description: | This book uses four individual case studies (a tornado in Paris, Texas, a flood in Salt Lake City, Utah, an earthquake in Coalinga, California, and a hurricane in Kauai, Hawaii)to examine disaster recovery within the context of race, religion and ethnicity. The authors employ qualitative and quantitative techniques to examine disaster recovery efforts with a focus on the racial, religious and ethnic characterizes of the disaster victims. General findings include the observations that residential patterns tend to be determined by ethnicity and that ethnic minority groups often live in poorly constructed homes and are underinsured. |
