Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are likely to have long-term effects on the cities and towns of the Gulf Coast. This project identifies which communities were most affected, which will be rebuilt and how they will be different from before. It will integrate remotely sensed ecological data with environmental hazard information as well as demographic and socioeconomic data to understand the social and ecological vulnerabilities of impacted communities. By studying which population groups lived in different areas, it will identify with precision the differential impacts of the disaster. It will also follow the progress of post-disaster adjustment, identifying new configurations of what are considered safe or desirable areas, choices about public infrastructure investments, and locational decisions made by past and potential new residents. In addition to the demographic and sociological aspects of displacement and rebuilding, the project will incorporate perspectives from environmental science and ecology. It will study how the physical environment, particularly wetlands and patterns of groundcover, may have protected some areas, as well as how the post-hurricane environment affects redevelopment. A scientific understanding of the effects of these hurricanes will be valuable for public policymaking, both in the short term (investments in the region over the next several years) and in the long term (planning for the security of coastal zones). The project will also provide information that can be of use to future studies, including surveys of returning and relocated residents and risk assessments of other areas.

卡特里娜飓风和丽塔飓风可能会对墨西哥湾沿岸的城镇产生长期影响。该项目确定了哪些社区受影响最严重，哪些社区将被重建，以及它们与以前有何不同。它将遥感生态数据与环境危害信息以及人口和社会经济数据相结合，以了解受影响社区的社会和生态脆弱性。通过研究生活在不同地区的人口群体，它将精确地确定灾难的不同影响。它还将跟踪灾后调整的进展，确定被认为是安全或理想地区的新配置，选择公共基础设施投资，以及过去和潜在的新居民做出的选址决定。除了流离失所和重建的人口和社会学方面外，该项目还将纳入环境科学和生态学的观点。它将研究自然环境，特别是湿地和地被植物的模式，如何保护一些地区，以及飓风后的环境如何影响重建。对这些飓风影响的科学理解将对公共政策制定有价值，无论是在短期（未来几年对该地区的投资）还是在长期（沿海地区的安全规划）。该项目还将提供可用于今后研究的资料，包括对返回和重新安置的居民的调查以及对其他地区的风险评估。
