question
Kates, Robert William, et al. \"Reconstruction of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina: A Research Perspective.\" Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
answer
\"Critics rightly note that the sequence of recovery processes can be uneven, that phases can overlap, and, most importantly, that different social groups, even within the same community, can experience the sequence quite differently.\"
question
Kates, Robert William, et al. \"Reconstruction of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina: A Research Perspective.\" Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
answer
\"The sequence and timing of recovery is somewhat controversial, but it provides a calendar of comparative historical experience against which to gauge progress in the necessary phases of reconstruction.\"
question
Kates, Robert William, et al. \"Reconstruction of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina: A Research Perspective.\" Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
answer
\"Because disasters tend to accelerate existing economic, social, and political trends, the trajectory for full recovery is not promising.\"

question
Xiong, Xu, et al. \"Exposure to Hurricane Katrina, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Birth Outcomes.\" The American Journal of the Medical Sciences
answer
\"To prevent poor pregnancy outcomes during and after disasters, future disaster preparedness may need to include the planning of earlier evacuation of pregnant women to minimize their exposure to severe disaster events.\"
question
Kessler, Ronald C., et al. \"Mental illness and Suicidality After Hurricane Katrina.\" Bulletin of the World Health Organization
answer
\"A more plausible explanation is that the effects of increased mental illness after Hurricane Katrina on suicidality were offset by protective factors activated by the hurricane.\"
question
Kessler, Ronald C., et al. \"Mental illness and Suicidality After Hurricane Katrina.\" Bulletin of the World Health Organization
answer
\"Not withstanding these limitations, the fact that the estimated prevalence of serious mental illness and mild-moderate mental illness doubled after Hurricane Katrina is consistent with other evidence of the adverse effects on mental health of major disasters.\"
question
Kessler, Ronald C., et al. \"Mental illness and Suicidality After Hurricane Katrina.\" Bulletin of the World Health Organization
answer
\"Although this possibility has not been studied in previous trauma studies, post-traumatic personal growth in areas such as self-efficacy, optimism, hope and perceived social support have been documented after disasters, and these changes have been linked to low levels of post-disaster distress.\"
question
Kessler, Ronald C., et al. \"Mental illness and Suicidality After Hurricane Katrina.\" Bulletin of the World Health Organization
answer
\"Our findings go beyond these earlier results, though, to suggest that some dimensions of post-traumatic personal growth might be protective against suicidality among people with clinically significant mental illness.\"
question
Kessler, Ronald C., et al. \"Mental illness and Suicidality After Hurricane Katrina.\" Bulletin of the World Health Organization
answer
\"Research has suggested that public health messages play an important part in affecting psychological reactions to disasters.\"

answer
\"Research shows that the mass media play a significant role in promulgating erroneous beliefs about disaster behavior.\"
question
Tierney, Kathleen, Christine Bevc, and Erica Kuligowski. \"Metaphors Matter: Disaster Myths, Media Frames, and their Consequences in Hurricane Katrina.\" The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
answer
\"Following Hurricane Katrina, the response of disaster victims was framed by the media in ways that greatly exaggerated the incidence and severity of looting and lawlessness.\"
question
Tierney, Kathleen, Christine Bevc, and Erica Kuligowski. \"Metaphors Matter: Disaster Myths, Media Frames, and their Consequences in Hurricane Katrina.\" The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
answer
\"Media reports initially employed a 'civil unrest' frame and later characterized victim behavior as equivalent to urban warfare.\"

answer
\"We identified 971 Katrina-related deaths in Louisiana and 15 deaths among Katrina evacuees in other states.
