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 has the following:
http://www.datacenterresearch.org/pre-katrina/prekatrinasite.html

The site provides information on pre-Katrina situations in 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 suffering was exacerbated by social backgrounds (sorry in Japanese; however, the summary and figures are in English).
