Subject: The disaster literature has generally found that Hispanics and Blacks have been slower to recover from a natural disaster than Anglos.

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
