It ravaged the Texas Gulf Coast, and left thousands of people homeless in its wake. In Hurricane Harvey’s Aftermath, Kevin M. Fitzpatrick and Matthew L. Spialek offer first-hand accounts from survivors themselves, providing a rare, on-the-ground perspective of natural disaster recovery. Drawing on interviews from more than 350 survivors, the authors trace the experiences of individuals and their communities, both rich and poor, urban and rural, white, Latinx, and Black, and how they navigated the long and difficult road to recovery after Hurricane Harvey. From Corpus Christi to Galveston, they paint a vivid, compelling picture of heartache and destruction, as well as resilience and recovery, as survivors slowly begin rebuilding their lives and their communities. An emotionally provocative read, Hurricane Harvey’s Aftermath provides insight into how ordinary people experience and persevere through a disaster in an age of environmental vulnerability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would you do if you became of interest to Satanic forces as a new Christian? Would you recognize what was happening? Would it occur to you who was behind this onslaught? Would you know what to do? Follow Paul and Sarah as they continue to rebuild their lives and assist in the reconstruction of homes and businesses along the Texas coastal bend. In the 2nd instalment of this series, Paul is now working full-time for a lumber company on Wheeler Avenue in Aransas Pass, and Sarah has a full schedule working towards her degree in Marine Biology at Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. Matt and Jen, Paul's landlords, are putting their lives back together as well after Hurricane Harvey, caring for their horses, and being involved in their church and community. Eli is recovering from his surgery (living with Matt and Jen as well) and spending more time lately with the next-door neighbor Brian, a war veteran like himself. Since we last connected with our group, some businesses in the area have reopened, others have not, but hopes are high that things will improve as life continues day by day, that the Lord will see them through. But it will take heavenly forces to combat dark adversaries to see Paul through perilous days ahead.

Book excerpt: Resilient supply chains are crucial to maintaining the consistent delivery of goods and services to the American people. The modern economy has made supply chains more interconnected than ever, while also expanding both their range and fragility. In the third quarter of 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria revealed some significant vulnerabilities in the national and regional supply chains of Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The broad impacts and quick succession of these three hurricanes also shed light on the effectiveness of the nation's disaster logistics efforts during response through recovery. Drawing on lessons learned during the 2017 hurricanes, this report explores future strategies to improve supply chain management in disaster situations. This report makes recommendations to strengthen the roles of continuity planning, partnerships between civic leaders with small businesses, and infrastructure investment to ensure that essential supply chains will remain operational in the next major disaster. Focusing on the supply chains food, fuel, water, pharmaceutical, and medical supplies, the recommendations of this report will assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as state and local officials, private sector decision makers, civic leaders, and others who can help ensure that supply chains remain robust and resilient in the face of natural disasters.

Book excerpt: As Hurricane Harvey approached the United States and the great state of Texas in late August of 2017, residents did their best to prepare for the worst. What followed was a devastating storm beyond comprehension, with winds up to 130 mph forging a path of destruction through the Houston area and into Louisiana. Lives were lost and countless others were changed forever, with recovery and rebuilding efforts just beginning and sure to last years into the future. Amidst catastrophe, Harvey also inspired acts of courage and hope from the many Texans who found the will to triumph against incalculable odds. Seeking shelter and the basic necessities of life, hundreds of thousands fought on to simply survive the harshest of conditions and help others do the same. This perseverance in the face of ruin is captured in Harvey: Devastation, Courage, and Recovery in the Eye of the Storm, which features gripping stories and nearly 100 vivid full-color images, illustrating the power of the storm and the strength of the many who endured and shined during this tragedy. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book will be donated to charities that support the communities affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2018 in the subject Public safety and order, disaster control, grade: 90.0, Mississippi State University, course: CJ 610 Homeland Security Operations, language: English, abstract: Hurricane Katrina is tied with Hurricane Harvey as being the costliest tropical cyclones in history. The storm was immense with a range of over 400 miles wide and winds of 140 miles per hour or more making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane. Though the storm was immense, the aftermath would be the demonstration of a catastrophe. The failures that contributed to a city being underwater for weeks to follow is one of the greatest disasters associated with this hurricane. The cost of the storm and its aftermath would be felt for years to come. The total mount of property damage is estimated at 125 billion dollars. This is roughly four times the amount of damage caused by the Hurricane Andrew which happened in 1992.1245-1836 people killed is the estimated total as this counts evacuees on the latter end of the amount as people who were classified as missing which makes an exact number hard to determine.
