飓风和极端天气事件可能对基础设施服务造成广泛的破坏和中断，从而推迟家庭和社区的恢复。对佛罗里达中部和南部989户家庭进行的一项横断面调查的数据子集被用来研究飓风厄玛在登陆后8个月对灾后恢复的影响。使用逻辑回归模型，我们发现财产的物理损坏，基础设施服务的中断，如电力和手机/互联网服务的损失和其他因素（即，在控制年龄和种族/民族因素后，房主或租房者的保险范围、接受灾害援助和收入损失）是灾后恢复的重要预测因素。
Hurricanes and extreme weather events can cause widespread damage and disruption to infrastructure services and consequently delay household and community recovery. A subset of data from a cross-sectional survey of 989 households in central and south Florida is used to examine the effects of Hurricane Irma on post-disaster recovery eight months after the landfall. Using logistic regression modeling, we find that physical damage to property, disruption of infrastructure services such as loss of electric power and cell phone/internet services and other factors (i.e., homeowner's or renter's insurance coverage, receiving disaster assistance and loss of income) are significant predictors of post-disaster recovery when controlling for age and race/ethnicity.
