The role of nongovernmental organizations in long-term human recovery after disaster: reflections from Louisiana four years after Hurricane Katrina -- Methods -- Challenges identified and potential actions -- Directions for future research.
Human recovery is the process of rebuilding social and daily routines and support networks that foster physical and mental health and well-being. RAND researchers conducted a facilitated discussion with Louisiana NGO leaders to capture lessons learned and challenges faced by these organizations in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The subsequent lessons also serve to inform potential policy changes and future research directions.
