The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale, although it certainly was by any measure one of the most damaging storms in American history. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves. The final volume in the award-winning Katrina Bookshelf series Higher Ground reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America. Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters in the years since Katrina—including COVID-19—The Continuing Storm is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.Katrina bookshelf.Hurricane Katrina, 2005Social aspectsNatural disastersSocial aspectsUnited StatesDisastersSocial aspectsUnited StatesDisaster victimsUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial conditions21st centuryHurricane Katrina, New Orleans, disaster studies, natural disaster studies, hurricanes, sociology, Evacuation, how respond to environmental disasters, emergency management.Hurricane Katrina, 2005Social aspects.Natural disastersSocial aspectsDisastersSocial aspectsDisaster victims363.349220976090511Erikson Kai1931-573794Peek Lori A.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQAzTeSBOOK9910838320903321The continuing storm4143723UNINA
