Disaster and the First Sparks of Recovery

Abstract

Within two days of Hurricane Katrina, 90% of the residents of the Greater New Orleans area evacuated. This is the story of the residents who returned immediately after permission was granted by local authorities. It encompasses fragments stitched together of the author and private clients as the rebuilding process began within an environment of chaos and hope. In this laboratory of uncertainty, accelerated and productive changes were occurring, recycling the energy of devastation wrought by nature and man.
