本文介绍了一个探索性的研究妇女殴打大福克斯，北达科他州洪水1997年4月。基于我的定性研究，妇女的经验，在这场洪水中，我提出了两个案例研究的受虐妇女，以加强了解什么亲密伴侣暴力意味着妇女在面对自然灾害。案例研究说明了被殴打的妇女如何理解自己的处境，以及阶级和残疾等因素如何在妇女遭受家庭暴力方面发挥作用。案例研究还表明，为什么为受虐妇女提供的服务，如紧急避难所和危机咨询，在灾害期间至关重要。尽管我们不知道家庭暴力率是否会上升。在灾难期间，我们确实有证据表明，对家庭暴力服务的需求在灾难期间增加。有鉴于此，我认为有必要为这种情况做好准备。
This paper presents an exploratory study of woman battering in the Grand Forks, North Dakota flood of April 1997. Based on my qualitative research of women's experiences in this flood, I present two case studies of battered women to enhance understanding of what intimate partner violence means to women in the face of a natural disaster. The case studies illustrate how battered women make sense of their situations and how factors such as class and disability play a role in how women experience domestic violence. The case studies also show why services for battered women, such as emergency shelters and crisis counseling, are crucial during a disaster period. Even though we do not know if domestic violence rates increase in a. disaster, we do have evidence that the demand for domestic violence services increases during disaster times. In light of this, I argue that there is a need to prepare for that situation.
