Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the aftermath of Hurricane Audrey, a catastrophic disaster that caused severe damage and loss of life in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, in 1957. The author, a disaster research specialist, presents a longitudinal study of the community, analyzing the long-term effects of the hurricane on its social structure and the lives of its people. The author examines the community's response to the disaster, the efforts made to restore normalcy, and the challenges faced by individuals and groups in the aftermath. Utilizing role theory and a time-space model, the book explores the psychological and social changes that occurred in the wake of the hurricane, including the emergence of disaster roles and the therapeutic effects the shared experience had on the community. The book discusses the findings of a re-study of Cameron Parish four years after the hurricane, highlighting the lasting changes in community organization, life patterns, and mental health. It evaluates the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts and challenges the therapeutic community hypothesis, which posits that disasters foster a sense of community and shared suffering that mitigates psychological distress. This book is a valuable addition to the body of knowledge on disaster studies and offers a comprehensive analysis of the long-term consequences of a major natural disaster, providing important insights for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
