This book aims to tell a story of heartache, destruction, resilience, recovery, and hope. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), a team of interviewers was deployed along the Texas Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi to Galveston to interview Hurricane Harvey survivors and record their stories. The goal of the project was to carefully uncover the stories behind resilience, response, and recovery, focusing on how different response and recovery looks for persons depending on who they are and where they live.
With over three hundred interviews, the complex data-gathering strategy attempted to carefully represent all impacted locations. We also selected individuals who relocated into shelters, hotels, and other alternative displacement locations in order to assess the long and difficult roads of disaster recovery. We know that some respondents have since moved back to their old neighborhoods, and others never had to leave. Some survivors have been working on their return home for more than two years, and others will likely never return. These survivors’ stories are different, their circumstances are different, and the recovery process they are still experiencing is different too. Some of that difference is determined by who the survivors are. Like others telling this story before us,1Close we know that race, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status intersect in critical ways to either enhance or impede the response and recovery process. Related to this intersection of social and demographic factors is the role geographic location plays in the experience of disasters and the recovery process that follows. Like so much work that has been place-focused,2Close zip code continues to be an important determinant of a wide range of health and well-being outcomes. Disaster response and recovery appears to be no different.
