dc.descriptionOn August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida with winds exceeding 150 mph, causing $30 billion in damages and severely impacting over 75,000 homes. This paper, originally presented at the Council on Social Work Education’s Annual Program Meeting in March 1994, explores the disaster’s aftermath and its implications for social action and policy development.
dc.description.abstractThis study examines the long-term impact of Hurricane Andrew on the homeless population in the hardest-hit areas of South Florida, marking the first research into how natural disasters affect this demographic. The findings underscore a model of social action research rooted in scientific and social justice traditions, employing methodologies tailored for disaster studies. The study highlights the role of research in informing policy changes and improving practices in disaster response.
