During the week of September 11, 1988, Hurricane Gilbert struck the Caribbean and Mexico. Characterized as one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded, with sustained wind speeds of 175 mph, Gilbert caused enormous destruction. Two impacted communities will be the focal points of this study which will address community-wide policy issues related to the reconstruction process following the Hurricane Gilbert disaster. The study will attempt to improve the knowledge base that can be used by local, State, and Federal officials both before and following a disaster. With findings from this study, public officials should be better able to anticipate and respond to the range of policy issues they may face. This knowledge base can also be applied to various kinds of natural disasters in various geographic locations. So, for example, given the potential for catastrophic consequences of earthquakes in the United States, and thus the need for knowledge about reconstruction, research based on the Hurricane Gilbert recovery could fulfill a significant national need.

在1988年9月11日的一周内，飓风吉尔伯特袭击了 加勒比和墨西哥。 被认为是最强大的 有记录以来的飓风，持续风速为每小时175英里， 吉尔伯特造成了巨大的破坏。 两个受影响的社区将是本研究的重点， 将处理有关 在吉尔伯特飓风灾难后的重建过程中。 的 这项研究将试图改善知识基础， 地方、州和联邦官员在 灾难 根据这项研究的结果，公职人员应该 更好地预测和应对一系列政策问题 他们可能面对。 该知识库还可以应用于各种 不同地理位置的自然灾害。 所以 例如，考虑到潜在的灾难性后果， 美国的地震，因此需要了解 关于重建，基于飓风吉尔伯特恢复的研究 可以满足国家的重大需求。
