Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005.
Commentary and analysis typically focused on what went wrong in the
post-disaster emergency response. This forward-looking book,
however, presents a more cautiously optimistic view about the
region's ability to bounce back after multiple disasters.
Catastrophes come in different forms --hurricanes, recessions,
and oil spills, to name a few. It is imperative that we learn how
best to rebuild in the wake of disasters and what capacities and
conditions are needed to improve future resilience. Since the
devastating summer of 2005, leaders have made important inroads to
restoring communities in more prosperous ways. "Resilience and
Opportunity" is an important contribution to our collective
learning from a teachable moment.
