Analyzes the consequences of conflict and competition, especially associated with race, ethnicity and gender in the ways Miami prepared, responded and recovered to Hurricane Andrew.

This book explores how social, economic and political factors set the stage for Hurricane Andrew by influencing who was prepared, who was hit the hardest, and who was most likely to recover. Employing unique research data the authors analyze the consequences of conflict and competition on disaster preparation, response and recovery, especially where associated with race, ethnicity and gender.
