Abstract: Disaster, Resilience and the Built Environment on the Gulf Coast This project studies the resilience of the built environment in coastal communities that are subject to chronic wind and water damage from hurricanes. It is partly a case study of the impacts of the Katrina hurricane on New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast and the national and regional pattern of displacement of residents and their assimilation into other places. It asks whose communities were most affected, which will be rebuilt and how they will be different from before, and which segments of the population will be permanently displaced. This Katrina case study will be embedded within a larger project on the relationship between hurricane damage, natural environment, and the built environment. It will assess the cumulative storm risk on the Gulf Coast during the last fifty years, and ask how the natural environment (forest cover) and the built environment (residential land use) have been affected by these events. Historical data on storms and remote sensing information on forest cover will be analyzed together with fine-grained census data at ten-year intervals for 1950-2000. A scientific understanding of the effects of Katrina and other storms 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 provide a map of vulnerability to storm risks for the Gulf Coast, and results will be widely disseminated to the public and environmental organizations.

摘要：墨西哥湾沿岸的灾害、复原力和建筑环境本项目研究遭受飓风造成的长期风和水破坏的沿海社区建筑环境的复原力。 它在一定程度上是卡特里娜飓风对新奥尔良和密西西比海岸影响的案例研究，以及全国和地区居民流离失所和同化到其他地方的模式。 它询问哪些社区受到的影响最大，哪些社区将得到重建，这些社区将与以前有何不同，以及人口中的哪些部分将永久流离失所。 这个卡特里娜飓风案例研究将被嵌入一个更大的项目，飓风破坏，自然环境和建筑环境之间的关系。 它将评估过去50年墨西哥湾沿岸的累积风暴风险，并询问自然环境（森林覆盖）和建筑环境（住宅用地）如何受到这些事件的影响。 将结合1950-2000年每十年一次的精细普查数据，分析有关风暴的历史数据和有关森林覆盖的遥感信息。 对卡特里娜和其他风暴影响的科学认识，无论是在短期（未来几年对该地区的投资）还是在长期（沿海地区安全规划），都将对公共决策有价值。 该项目将提供墨西哥湾沿岸易受风暴风险影响的地图，并将向公众和环境组织广泛传播结果。
