This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book takes
an in-depth look at Louisiana as a state which is ahead of the
curve in terms of extreme weather events, both in frequency and
magnitude, and in its responses to these challenges including
recovery and enhancement of resiliency. Louisiana faced a major
tropical catastrophe in the 21st century, and experiences the
fastest rising sea level. Weather specialists, including those
concentrating on sea level rise acknowledge that what the state of
Louisiana experiences is likely to happen to many more, and not
necessarily restricted to coastal states. This book asks and
attempts to answer what Louisiana public officials,
scientists/engineers, and those from outside of the state who have
been called in to help, have done to achieve resilient recovery.
How well have these efforts fared to achieve their goals? What
might these efforts offer as lessons for those states that will be
likely to experience enhanced extreme weather? Can the challenges
of inequality be truly addressed in recovery and resilience? How
can the study of the Louisiana response as a case be blended with
findings from later disasters such as New York/New Jersey
(Hurricane Sandy) and more recent ones to improve understanding as
well as best adaptation applications - federal, state and local?
