Ordinary citizens joined in with whatever resources they had. Unlike many of the official responders, vernacular rescuers found ways around paralysis produced by a breakdown in communications and infrastructure. They were able to dispel unfounded fears produced by erroneous or questionable reporting. The essays, personal narratives, media reports, and field studies presented here all have to do with effective and often ingenious answers that emerged from the people themselves. Their solutions are remarkably different from the hamstrung government response, and their perspectives are a tonic to sensationalized media coverage. The first part of the collection deals with Gulf Coast rescuers from outside stricken communities: those who, safe in their own homes and neighborhoods, marshaled their resources to help their fellow citizens. It includes some analysis and scholarly approaches, but it also includes direct responses and first-hand field reports. The second part features the words of hurricane survivors displaced from New Orleans and other Gulf Coast communities to Houston, Texas. In many cases, the "victims" themselves were the first responders, rescuing family, friends, and strangers. All of the stories, whether from the "outside" or "inside" responders, reveal a shared history of close-knit community bonds and survival skills sharpened by hard times. This book is about what went right in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita--in spite of all that went so wrong"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aHurricane Katrina, 2005 606 $aHurricane Rita, 2005 606 $aDisaster relief$zGulf Coast (U.S.) 606 $aDisaster victims$zGulf Coast (U.S.) 606 $aHurricanes$zGulf Coast (U.S.)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHurricane Katrina, 2005. 615 0$aHurricane Rita, 2005. 615 0$aDisaster relief 615 0$aDisaster victims 615 0$aHurricanes$xSocial aspects. 676 $a363.34/9220976090511 686 $aHIS036120$aSOC035000$2bisacsh 701 $aAncelet$b Barry Jean$01706949 701 $aGaudet$b Marcia G$0836769 701 $aLindahl$b Carl$0919048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810508003321 996 $aSecond line rescue$94094768 997 $aUNINA
