"Sometimes numbers speak more clearly than words. J. Steven Picou, with years of experience developing and implementing surveys in communities struck by disaster, and Keith Nicholls, with years of experience in political polling and directing telephone surveys, provide compelling quantitative analysis of the adverse social impacts of Hurricane Katrina. The result is an essential book for anyone seeking a more complete understanding of this disaster."
from the Foreword Lee Clarke
"Katrina, the storm, happened about fifteen years ago. Katrina, the demon, continues to haunt its victims. J. Steven Picou and Keith Nicholls tell us what happened to people and what we can expect. They tell us how people’s notions of the future have changed for the worse. Ultimately, then, Caught in the Path of Katrina tells multiple stories about trust and hope. The news is not good."
