Subject: The disaster literature has generally found that Hispanics and Blacks have been slower to recover from a natural disaster than Anglos. One of the principal reasons is the lack of insurance and insufficient insurance settlements among minorities. This paper examines ethnic differentials in insurance and insurance settlements in post-Hurricane Andrew in metropolitan Miami. Findings suggest that the experience of Cubans in particular and Hispanics in general were not significantly different from Anglos, while Blacks faired much more poorly
