Hurricane Opportunities
Hurricane Katrina and hurricane Rita present a major set of issues and opportunities for low income rural communities all over North America. For those directly in the hurricane path, the danger, the damage and the recovery are as much challenges to pride, self esteem, personal identity and community order as they are to buildings, land and infra-structure. For the rest of us, there are responsibilities and opportunities to help the stricken communities and to learn from the disasters.
