Social Networks and Displacement after Hurricane KatrinaThis mixed-method study focuses on victims of Hurricane Katrina who lived in the New Orleans area prior to the storm but were displaced to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We will conduct telephone interviews with a random sample of 500 displaced persons and video ethnographies with 200 displaced informants. These interviews will focus on the role that social networks played in their immediate response to the storm (including evacuation and sheltering decisions), their ability to activate network ties to garner both social support and instrumental resources in response and recovery, and their decision of whether to return to New Orleans. The intellectual merit of the study lies in advancing our understanding of (1) the allocation of social resources through networks and their impacts on economic and non-economic outcomes (health, finding jobs, housing, and schools) and (2) the understudied topic of network disruption and transformation. The broader impacts of the study include (1) producing an early assessment of how displaced persons have been affected by Hurricane Katrina and how social resources affect their ability to recover, which will provide a foundation for (2) improving planning, policy, and relief efforts aimed at disaster preparation, evacuation, sheltering, and recovery.

飓风卡特里纳斯混合方法研究的社交网络和流离失所的重点是卡特里娜飓风的受害者，卡特里娜飓风的受害者居住在暴风雨前的新奥尔良地区，但流离失所到路易斯安那州的巴吞鲁日。 我们将对500名流离失所者和200个流离失所者的视频民族志随机样本进行电话采访。 这些访谈将集中在社交网络对风暴的直接反应中（包括撤离和庇护决定）中扮演的角色，它们激活网络关系以获得社会支持和工具资源的能力，以及是否返回新奥尔良。 该研究的智力优点在于促进我们对（1）通过网络分配社会资源及其对经济和非经济成果的影响（健康，寻找工作，住房和学校）以及（2）网络中断和转型的知名度。 该研究的更广泛影响包括（1）对卡特里娜飓风飓风影响流离失所者的影响以及社会资源如何影响其恢复能力的早期评估，这将为（2）改善计划，政策和救援工作的基础，旨在旨在灾难准备，疏散，疏散，住所，住所和康复。
