Description
The session includes both U.S. and international studies. Two manuscripts examine the intersection of race, class, and disasters by reviewing the experiences of Katrina evacuees and the relation of inequality to disasters during 1998-2015 in the US. The other three papers are on Japan and Sub Saharan Africa; two of them look at the correlates of support for government programs, and the impact of social capital on evacuation behavior and mortality, in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The other traces the distribution of emergency relief among Sub Saharan countries.
