Journal Article
Differential Vulnerabilities: Environmental and Economic Inequality and Government Response to Unnatural Disasters
2008
Overview
This paper uses an environmental justice framework to examine government response to weather-related disasters dating back some eight decades. It places the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster in socio-historical context of past emergencies with an emphasis on race and class dynamics and social vulnerability. Key questions explored include: What went wrong? Can it happen again? Is government equipped to plan for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from natural and manmade disasters? Can the public trust government response to be fair? Why are so many African Americans \"locked out\" of New Orleans' post-Katrina rebuilding, reconstruction, and recovery? Adapted from the source document.
