Fostering Community Resilience: Homeland Security and Hurricane Katrina

By Jack Covarrubias, Tom Lansford, Brian Carriere, et al.

Using the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a case study, this book focuses on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and develops the concept of resilience and how it applies to Homeland Security. By examining what went right, what went wrong, and what can be improved upon during the Mississippi Gulf Coast's recovery, scholars and policymakers can better understand community resilience not just as a concept, but also as a practice.
