Based on the data set of more than five thousand post-disaster building permit applications submitted during the early period of recovery, this chapter examines the ways in which civic capacity influenced the process of property reconstruction after Katrina. I find that high levels of local political participation led to a greater number of building permit approvals as well as faster issuance of permits. While affirming the positive aspect of civic capacity on service distribution, the findings also reflect the dilemma of reconstruction because the physical rebuilding occurred in a haphazard pattern without a reference to the long-term, coherent planning. The strength of civic power revealed the lack of local government capacity to enforce strict building regulations, leaving the city no less vulnerable to natural hazards than it had been before Katrina.","PeriodicalId":411827,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Community Resilience","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128408128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter focuses on the ways in which citizen requests have influenced the federal, state, and local governments. This has been done in two ways. First, civic actors urged the federal government to pursue structural solutions by constructing levees and drainage systems around flood-prone areas. Through browsing these documents, we can get a glimpse of how the perception of natural disasters had been constructed prior to Katrina’s landfall. To government officials and residents alike, disasters were considered as infrequent disruptions from which the city of New Orleans had to be protected, and the protection was mainly provided by the federal government’s engineering and insurance programs. The expanding protection instilled residents with an elevated sense of security and justified rebuilding in vulnerable regions. Second, because of the federal protection, the Louisiana and New Orleans governments have developed policies that minimize investment in long-term hazard mitigation for the sake of economic development.","PeriodicalId":411827,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Community Resilience","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123009251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this chapter, I investigate the relationship between community civic structure and the patterns of repopulation after Katrina. Using a novel data set on the repopulation of the entire New Orleans neighborhoods for ten years, I find that structural conditions based on civic organizations such as churches, schools, and childcare centers lead to two disparate patterns of recovery in the long run. In a high-lying location, civic structure facilitates repopulation and reduces vulnerabilities in a way that was expected. However, in low-lying neighborhoods, civic-oriented repopulation is much slower than high-lying communities, and active civic performances increase social vulnerabilities by attracting low-income, minority populations. This, I argue, creates a two-tiered city with an enlarging gap between the city’s safe and vulnerable areas.","PeriodicalId":411827,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Community Resilience","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128662472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
