The Greater New Orleans Community Data Center (GNOCDC) website was found after the field survey on Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005. I was so amazed. This is one of the demographer’s great contributions to disaster research.
The site is the following:
http://www.datacenterresearch.org/pre-katrina/prekatrinasite.html
The site provides information on the pre-Katrina situations by a parish. This is very useful to examine the social backgrounds of the areas in detail.
I wrote the paper by using these data to explain how human sufferings were exacerbated by the social backgrounds (Sorry in Japanese, however, summary and figures are in English).
