Subject: Through a quick response survey, data were collected in selected communities along the Gulf Coast. The communities studied were either hit directly by Hurricane Georges or severely affected by the associated tidal surges and floods. In a sample of 300 victims, data were collected on the extent of damage, emergency responses, equity of relief and physical, health and psychological problems report by respondents. The results of this study indicate that people do come together to respond to a natural disaster, with race/ethnicity being of less importance, at least during the impact phase of the hurricane.
